I have been using Share Renamer to give shared links a friendlier and more mnemonic name. I now see there is a capability to set Link Name (outside the Share Renamer addin). Perhaps it was there all along and I never noticed it but what exactly is that for? ---

There are two Apps for renaming share links: 1. [ShareRenamer](https://github.com/JonathanTreffler/sharerenamer) (sharerenamer) 2. [Configurable Share Links](https://github.com/jimmyl0l3c/cfg_share_links) (cfg\_share\_links) 2.) [makes use of the newest API](https://github.com/JonathanTreffler/sharerenamer/issues/121) and delivers slightly more features as 1.) ---

Thanks! I will check out Configurable Share Links. However, can you tell me what the “Share Label” is? ---

I use the field also to store the password because after setting the password i can not read it anymore wink If you only use one share or shares for e-mail or users it makes less sense. ---

@ernolf @ihf @ernolf you are correct with my quote for normal shares. You can give normal shares a label to differ between them. But i do not know if it is the same function in app [Configurable Share Links](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/cfg_share_links) . I do not use the app. Sorry. ---
