It would be sooooo good if anyone who really knows the differences could create a camparing List with pros and cons of the different possibilities of sharing files and folders. Each year I start to investigate again because either I can’t remember the precise differneces or I have the feeling that something could have changed. I am definetly NOT the one to create a list but to motivate the real experts I just start it…and would love to edit this post and delete the following part again: **App “Group Folders”** - Pro: \*. Not tied to one single user account \*. ?! - Con: \*. No encryption \*. Problems with deletion \*. Many mor options to admin **Global Shares by Admin oder Ghost-Accont** - Pro: \*. No further app or options needed \*. Works fine if group members and admin aren’t changing - Con: \*. Something with quota seems bad?! **App “Circles”:** - Pro: \*. Didn’t get it - Con: \*. Didn’t get it… Can’t we have an open OO Sheet, where all can enter Pros and Cons and that is always uptodate? Actually it’s such an important topic and I think it was worth for the NC admins to organise a “fair” comparison Site in the Documentation. --- _[View the full topic](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/what-is-the-best-method-to-share-folders-between-users/78769)._
