email : "file.zip was created in a public folder"

mark4 · October 12, 2024, 6:40am

I used zipper to zip a folder.
I got an email with says " file.zip was created in a public folder"

Strange thing is : I don’t have public folders. (at least that I know)

If i look at the details of the file and folder nothings seems to be shared, nobody else besides me seems to have access.

How can I verify if this is true to be sure there is no public folder.

thnx,
Mark

Hello @mark4 ,

welcome to the community of Nextcloud.

Good catch.
Two weeks ago I had the same thought and checked my folder for sharing options and it is a private one.

Looks like a bug to me.

Would you mind filing an issue at

?

          			$this->setIcon($event, 'add-color');
          		} elseif ($event->getSubject() === 'created_by') {
          			$subject = $this->l->t('{user} created {file}');
