CloseReviews for *cloud - FileLink for Nextcloud and ownCloud
53 reviews for this add-on
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I find this addon very useful. I used to create a link manually on a "DL" server, which takes more time. I think I will recommend it to my collegues.
I could not make *cloud work with an Owncloud server owned by my employer (too old version) and Mr Endres answered very quickly to my help request. Finally I found another server (Nextcloud) and now it is perfect!
Thank you.

PLEASE allow to choose from settings, whether there will be added "/download" to end of URL or not. Currently there will be link like this: example.com/index.php/s/hash/download
Even there is a file, that can be viewed online via link example.com/index.php/s/hash, it has to be downloaded in order to view it. It is quite annoying to save all the time attachments, when in most cases people would like to just view and that's all.
This will cause all attachments are downloaded somewhere, where they probably should not be. E.g. people are reading sometimes email in foreign computer but they have to download in order to see the attachment. Do they delete that downloaded file? Possibly not. People may forgot also and it is very human-like behaviour. Some people are beginners and can't even find the place, where downloaded file were saved.
This forcible download is especially dangerous policy in GDPR era. Most people don't know, that they can remove the "/download" in the end of URL in order to view directly online. Why should users do manual work, if it can be done automatically. Why then offer such link in email, that cannot be clicked directly to view directly in web browser.
I understand, that some users may prefer forcible download and therefore that should be configurable, so users can decide themselves.
So - PLEASE do not force people to download the attachments! This would increase all our safety, when possibly sensitive files will not be downloaded forcibly.
Without "/download" in the end still the file can be downloaded, if decided so as Nextcloud is offering that option.
E.g. new version of Thunderbird is now offering even built-in PDF-viewer in order to avoid downloading attachments and PDF is very common file type. Most common files are viewable in browser and if not, download button is always there in Nextcloud.
Hi Edmund,
thanks for your feature suggestion. The current behavior is the result of user requests: The link that did *not* start the download immediately was confusing to many.
But I like the idea to make it configurable.
It would be helpful to send feature requests to the support email address. You'd then receive updates on implementation by email.
Regards, Johannes

I have Thunderbird 91.1.1, this extension works well.
I also need the file to be deleted after a period of time, not only the sharing link.

Superbe application et très utile.
Mais ne fonctionne pas avec thunderbird 91.*
Great application and very useful.
But does not work with thunderbird 91.*
Could you please specify more precisey what's not working and on which operating system? Maybe even send a bug report to cloud@johannes-endres.de?
I tested *cloud thoroughly with TB 91.* and it currently has more than 1000 users on 91.0.

I wish the file could be automatically deleted after a set period of time.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.11.0).Thanks for the suggestion. But I think this is something the server should take care of. For Nextcloud there is an app called "Retention" that deletes files after a given period of time.

I was so happy to see that a plugin like this existed so I could automatically upload files to my Nextcloud server. Installation was very easy and it has worked flawlessly for me.

Great support from the owner of the module. Initially it didn't work with my personnal onwcloud server. I informed the maintainer and got a quick reply. The issue was fixed rapidly. Thank you very much. Now it works like a charm with owncloud 10.7. Nice work.

Fonctionne très bien. S'intègre parfaitement avec l'utilisation d'un serveur Nextcloud. Merci !
Excellent add-on, works as stated with my own Nextcloud server. Thanks !

Benutze *cloud mit meinem Nextcloud-Server. Funktioniert super, gerade in einer Zeit, der immer häufiger Anhänge von vornherein in der Firewall aussortiert werden. Außerdem liegen die Daten nur auf meinem Rechner, meinem Server und dem Empfänger.

Sehr gutes und nützliches Add-on - danke an den Entwickler!

Setup und Versand von Dateien funktioniert.
Aber wenn ebenfalls Enigmail installiert ist, werden die Enigmail-Buttons im "Verfassen"-Fenster nicht angezeigt. Selbst wenn der *cloud-FileLink-Button nicht in der Symbolleiste drin ist. Nur Deinstallation des AddOns half die Enigmail-Buttons wieder einzublenden.
Edit:
Der Entwickler reagiert schnell und freundlich. Link in der Beschreibung ist behoben. Den Enigmail-*cloud-Button-Konflikt schaue ich mir nochmal genauer an. Wo ist denn ein Hinweis auf die Diskussion zu den Buttons bei Enigmail zu finden? Ich finde kein Issue, wo *cloud erwähnt wird: https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/bugs/search/?q=cloud
Vielen Dank für den Hinweis, der Link ist in der Version 3.8.2 korrigiert.
Die verschwindenden Knöpfe sind ein Fehler in Enigmail, nicht in *cloud. Der Autor von Enigmail weiß davon, möchte es aber nicht mehr korrigieren: https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/forum/support/thread/c683e56c2f/#2392/9b7b
Falls Sie mit diesen Antworten zufrieden sind, würde ich mich über eine Anpassung der Bewertung freuen, andernfalls über eine Nachricht.

War richtig einfach einzurichten und funktionierte auf Anhieb.
Felder sind selbsterklärend.

Einfach einzurichten, weil die Formularfelder sehr gut beschrieben sind.
Man muss nur auf die Idee kommen, mit dem Cursor (oder dem Finger) auf das ❓ zu gehen. Das ist bei der Mobile-First-Generation nicht mehr selbstverständlich.
