I am a begginer in programming and just learning things. I came across nextcloud and found it could be great for our school.
I wanted to deploy nextcloud in my school for subject wise resource (notes, ppts, assignments) sharing. What I want is that:
There be a common nextcloud data interface visible to all, instead of default data storage being given to all users.
Only few users (teachers and admins) should have the write to add/edit/update content in the shared data space. Others (Students) should only be able to access the material.
It is possible
As a teacher or admin, create folders and put your files you want to ReadOnly Share inside.
Then create students accounts
Get back to the folders you’ve created and activate the share functionality.
Share the folders you want to users and select the ReadOnly mode.
You can create groups of users that is more easy to manage for sharing than a list of users to enter each time you want to share.
it wont turn of the users own local folder but it will add the possibility of using a shared folder for a group where teachers get write access and students get read only.
Also look into the circles app for creating loos group of users to share files with (assignments to small group can be one example)
)
