Hi, I read about the Files-Drop feature [here in the blog](https://nextcloud.com/why-open-source-rocks/). Is it available in the current (first) nextcloud release? How can I create such a file drop link to share? I can’t find any option to do so… Cheers, Jacky ---

Hello, yes it is available. In the folder share dialoge you have a new option “Hide file listing”. If you check it, Users can only upload but don’t see the other files in the folder… Ciao, Joachim ![](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/1X/aea22f90ed305d41e707067e78a4a58cef479d58.jpg) ---

Thanks, but I don’t see this option. Do I have to enable something first? I moved from latest OC to NC yesterday evening… ![](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/1X/7504ca23c607737cfc955cc725ef6730b0b13eb8.png) ---

Ah, yes, I had to enable an option in the admin settings of nc (see below). Thanks a lot! ![](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/1X/301a3f76b89891c2f0f2ac5d749b421e6c5393d1.png) ---

Hello Jacky, You have to check “bearbeiten erlauben” for that folder. If that doesn’t work, check if in the administration panel “Öffentliches Hochladen erlauben” is checked. Ciao, Joachim ---

I had to enable a setting in the Admin Panel (see post above). I didn’t know that. Thanks! 🙂 ---

For non-German-speaking people finding this: In Admin settings, under Sharing, enable “Allow users to share via link” and then “Allow public uploads”. Then, when creating the share link, check “Allow editing”, which will show a new option which also needs to be checked: “Hide file listing”. ![](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6c1d768f27f8856672c447541c9a5bfca225dbde.png) ---

I’m using Nextcloud 10 (Thank you!) Is there anyway to share an upload link to someone who is not in the user database, i.e., a link with an expiration date that will allow an upload to a particular directory. Thanks, Wayne ---
