TL;DR Does an client integration with sharing functionality exist for Dolphin in KDE on top of Debian?
I find the client integration of the nautilus file manager in Ubuntu very handy. To share a file, I just need to right on the file in the file manager, click “share”, and the file is uploaded to your Nextcloud and the download link is put in your clipboard – ready to send the link it to your friends.
I just set up a WebDav connection in Dolphin’s Network > Add Network Folder section. Then I just right click and choose “Add to places”. After that you have a shortcut to your Nextcloud storage in the left hand bar of Nextcloud which you can drag files to any time.
Interesting that this works, thanks for the hint. It does not solve my problem though – to get the sharing link I still need to login to the cloud web interface.
So this integration is a part of the client, both for Nautilus and Dolphin and thus should be in the deb packages. Packagers might split it up or not ship part of it, that is up to them of course.
The Ubuntu packages from Xenial on will soon be packaged to use Qt5 and provide a Dolphin plugin. However, I am unable to compile the Dolphin plugin on Debian 8.0 (or 7.0) due to some missing packages (e.g. kio-dev and some cmake config files).
Am I missing something, and there is actually some way to compile the Dolphin plugin for Debian 8.0?
