I’d like to ask about a specific use case we’re trying to support.
We need to share a particular folder with a group of users, but due to security constraints, we cannot use public links. Additionally, we want to avoid requiring our users to create accounts or set passwords.
Ideally, we’re looking for a way to share access via a link where, upon clicking, the user receives a one-time validation code (e.g. via email ) to authenticate the request. Once validated, they should be granted access to the folder without further setup.
We’ve also tried using password-protected links, but maintaining and distributing the password to each individual user is not feasible for us.
Is there any feature or workaround you would recommend that could meet these requirements?
The guests app might be interesting for this use case:
The documentation for this app:
Especially the access to other apps should be reviewed cautiously. This allows you to create guest users that have nearly the same functions as a normal users as well as users that can more or less only receive shared files.
Going through the occ command is currently perhaps more like a workaround. If you like something like that, a one time access via guest account or something like that, it’s perhaps an option to be better implemented in this app.
