Hello, I’m new to Nextcloud and switching from DropBox. I usually have project sizes of around 200-300GB that I would like to hand over to my client for backup once my work is complete. Is there a way to send a share link that can be downloaded from something other than a browser (in case the browser breaks and resuming doesn’t work)?
- Basically if user has a link he can add it to own nextcloud instance via Federation feature.
- You can also create temporary user for you client with 1 MB Quota and share folder with him. In this case he has own user name and password and will be able to use nextcloud client to sync the data.
- If this is one file you can even send direct link to it e.g.:
https://YOURSERVER/index.php/s/XfHKow2bMRA7YiD/downloadandcurl,wget
Here are the few examples Прямая ссылка на изображение в общей папке - #13 by gas85
- Also you can use the app Guests. The user can login with e-mail and password and you give him read access to the folder. This is similar to a public link. I don’t know whether guests can use a Nextcloud client.
- Nextcloud users (maybe also guests) can also use WebDAV. Maybe that works better.
- You can host your backup (e.g. zip or tar.gz) on the same server or other server and give web access with normal webserver and .htaccess or zip/tar.gz.-password protection.
- You can encrypt the backup, upload it to Dropbox and share it for download.

Thanks a lot, create a user, share with and download with the desktop app seems to be best best way for me.
