Search File Sharing in your Nextcloud GUI under Apps and Search.

It is possible. I think it is the best feature of Nextcloud :wink:
I use Nextcloud 23 and it works. :wink:

My bad, it is indeed in my app list, only unactivated… Thanks for pointing this out!

Read this.

php occ app:disable files_sharing
rm ~/USER/nextcloud/apps/files_sharing/appinfo/database.xml
php occ app:enable files_sharing

Perhaps with sudo:

sudo -u www-data ...

Thank you so much for this!

I indeed only had to remove the appinfo/database.xml and everything is now working like a charm.

Big thanks for your help, and for all the devs behind NC!!
