Sharing folders with Nextcloud (through Alliance Canada)
This wiki will explain how you can share files with other Alliance Canada users in a secure and efficient manner.
Information on Nextcloud can be found here. The dashboard can be accessed directly here. You will need to log on with your compute canada (scinet/trillium/alliancecan) credentials.
You can upload files or folders from the dashboard with the + New button at the top of the screen (see screenshot below). Otherwise, you can upload a file using curl from the terminal:
[name@server ~]$ curl -k -u <username> -T <filename> https://nextcloud.computecanada.ca/remote.php/webdav/
To share files with someone who has an Alliance Canada account, click on the + Person icon at the right of the file name:
In the text box below "Internal shares" type the name, email address, or Compute Canada username of the person you would like to share with. You can also copy the "Internal link" and share this with them.
To share with someone who doesn't have an account, add their email under "External shares" or create and share a public link.
