Sharing / allow editing

ℹ️ Support

Hey, i have the following behavior with my installation:

Nextcloud version (eg, 18.0.2): 19.04
PHP version (eg, 7.1): 7.3

The issue you are facing:

when i share a document by link and want to allow editing, this function cannot be activated

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. create a document
  2. share by link
  3. check “allow editing”
  4. close detail box
  5. revisit sharing details
  6. “allow editing” is unchecked

Regards

Perhaps a browser problem. Can you test another browser or mobile device.

sorry, I forgot to mention: I tested it with FireFox, Chome and Edge Chromium. Behave the same everywhere

i have analyzed the problem further and it appears under the following constellation:

  1. at “Settings” -> “Share” -> “Force password protection” is selected
  2. if you want to share the document by link, the editing mode cannot be activated

Workaround:

Remove setting to 1) and set password protection when creating a share

Then it is also possible to edit the document

Question: does anyone else have it?

I had a few minutes ago the same problem (Nextcloud 20.0.1) but now a few minutes later i can not reproduce it. I created a share with edit option and password and the share does not used a password.

A few days or weeks ago there was a similar problem with sharing and passwords. Perhaps you can open an issue

i will do. i could reproduce this on a new installation, so i assume a bug.

Doesn’t work for me. I have the exact same issue:

  1. Create link with write permission
  2. If I open the link, there is read only
  3. Write permission is removed

Is there any solution for this kind of issue?

Which version are you running? I can no longer reproduce this error in the latest version (23.0.0).

Still get this problem on 22.2.5, and it says “Your version is up to date”
