Hello, I’m using the web client for next cloud. I was able to share documents up until last week and now it says Sharing API is disabled.
How do I enable it, or is this a permanent change to the web interface?

Ps try finding out about share-status of your instance by logging in to admin account and finding share settings there
Thank you I realized after posting that it may be the case, the trouble is I created an account through a web interface, using Safari on a Mac.
I don’t see a login for admin or any server information. Is it perhaps the way I created the account that is not allowing me to see any of these settings?
it sounds as if you created a normal user-account… i am sure there IS an admin.account
Thanks Jimmy I may have to restart the process all over again and re create it and pay more attention. I’ve been using this setup for months with no problem and all of a sudden it stopped working.
I delete all references to may account both on the web and my Mac and start fresh, Maybe I did do something in the beginning that gave me Jedi powers and I just can’t remember.
Maybe you have changed some settings in
Settings → Administration → Sharing
https://cloud.server.tld/settings/admin/sharing
or maybe the app File Sharing is disabled.
I recreated or re-registered a new account with a brand new email address. When setting up the site I do not get choice to enable sharing. The API is disabled message shows up from the get go.
Is there a specific way of setting up that I need to do besides registering with new email? When I go to my account profile I see accept sharing by default but nothing else.
again… I still think you’re setting up normal user accounts. HOW do you do that?
and how did you setup your instance? self-hosted or shared or managed somewhere else?
and who has admin-rights on your system?
The link I go to setup is https://free.files.cnow.at/ It asks me to register and then account is created. Is there another link I need to use to create account as admin?
I think you only get a normal user there.
Which link do I use to create an admin account?
I found another link which does allow me to share. effs.qloud.my Don’t know how I ended up as a regular user, I’ve been using the same link and shared with others before last week.
I recreated my account on this new link and everything is working.
You can’t create an admin-account there as they only feature normal users.
Which means you better ask your hoster in case of problems.
