Drop off folder app - Does one exist?

šŸ± Features & apps
1

Iā€™m looking for an app that would let me users create a folder that can be used for people to drop off files, but not let the public view the files. It would be nice if it e-mailed the owner of the folder anytime there is a new file dropped there, also a tick box that would make the fold require a password before they can upload.

Does an app like this exist? Or can this be done in the core install? I looked around and canā€™t find anything that will allow me to do this.

Thanks,

That is part of core, at least in Nextcloud 10 and up. See the upload only link entry at https://nextcloud.com/blog/why-open-source-rocks/.

Here is how you do it.
1: Create a folder.
2: Share it via link.
3: Check the box on ā€˜Hide file listingā€™.
4: Give people the link. They can then upload files without being able to view anything in the folder.

Awesome, thank you. For the life of me I could not figure this out.

Okay, just checked and I am on 10.0.1 stable, and I do not see that option when I share as link. Do I need to enable it somewhere on the admin side?

I have the following check boxes.

Allow editing
Password protect
Set expiration date

You have to check ā€˜Allow editingā€™ first. Then the ā€˜Hide file listingā€™ option shows.

Ah, okay, that did the trick.

Thank you.
