I am experiencing an issue with sharing in Nextcloud. I am able to share individual files without any problem, but I am not able to share folders. When I try to share a folder, the sharing option does not work as expected, while file sharing works normally. I have checked the sharing settings in the admin panel, and sharing appears to be enabled. Could anyone please guide me on what might be causing this issue or what settings I should check to resolve it? Thank you Wilson Nextcloud version **[Nextcloud Hub 25 Autumn](https://vault.aissel.com/) (32.0.3)** ---

We are facing an issue with folder sharing in our Nextcloud instance. **Problem:** When we try to share a folder, the share dialog appears but keeps **searching continuously** and does not show any users or groups. However, **file sharing works normally inside the same folder**. We can share individual files without any problem, but **sharing the entire folder does not work**. **Observed behavior:** - Clicking the share icon on a **folder** → the user search keeps loading. - Clicking the share icon on a **file inside that folder** → sharing works correctly. ![image](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/0/9/096c0f391a13e2db447fa9729647ee99bc9ea804.png) ![image](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/a/5a4f551f3b5cd56f43903f0cf53b4315a5ccd0ac.png) Please let me know if you need any additional information from our side. I believe I have shared most of the relevant details about the server and the sharing issue, but I’m happy to provide logs, configuration details, or any other diagnostics if required. This issue is affecting our users’ ability to share folders, so we would appreciate any guidance or suggestions to help resolve it as soon as possible. ---
