Is there an equivalent to Dropbox Docsend ? (or can it be built with flow ?)

Hello

is it possible to do something similar to Docsend within Nextcloud ?

in other words, is there a way to allow a nextcloud user to share a file stored on the server with an external user, so that the external user enters his email to access the shared file, and the external user’s email address is sent to the nextcloud user sharing the file ?

is it doable with flow ?
I was thinking of using Forms to collect email and Flow to send the download link, but I could not find any trigger related to forms.

Thanks for help

Hello there @squintarelli,

you started a topic in development category. This category is intended for active developers of the core or apps in the Nextcloud ecosystem.
From the description in your topic, it is not clear if you are seeking help and advice about a concrete problem you have or you want to actually develop the corresponding solution.

Please specify explicitly the required information to help you best. These are:

  1. What you want to achieve
  2. What you have done so far
  3. What is failing
  4. What you expect from the forum community

Without additional information the community members cannot help you in an efficient manner. Please keep in mind that the help here in the forum are mostly based on work of volunteers and thus it is just fair to reduce the burden on them.

If you accidentally posted in the category, just give a hint and a moderator can move the corresponding category.

Regards,
christianlupus

I was hoping, if it’s not possible, some developer could point me to an undergoing development or this could become a feature request.

Still, if it’s somehow already possible, maybe it should be moved to a more appropriate category
(thanks!)

In 2 weeks no one stepped up. I am unsure if there are quirks with flow. (I personally doubt it but I might be perfectly wrong here.)

I will move this question to the support category as it is not well-suited in the development forum.

I guess, this boils down to adding a feature request for this feature. Would you mind filing a Github issue? Please search existing issues matching your topic before filing a new one. Please reference the issue here as well.

Thank you and have a good day.
