Share Path (sharepath) — maintained fork of Sharing Path

This is a maintained fork of rookie0/nextcloud-sharing-path with compatibility fixes for Nextcloud 25 – 34, tested against Nextcloud 33.0.6 (Hub 26 Winter). Upstream has been unmaintained since 2022 and breaks with an Internal Server Error on Nextcloud 33 (it still uses the private OC_Response class that was removed from the server). All credit for the original app goes to Rookie0.

Because the original sharingpath App Store entry is not ours to publish under, the sources here declare the app id sharepath (see Two app ids below).

Nextcloud app to enhance files sharing usage. Easy share, multi-use.

Share your files by path format like below:

https://your-domain/nextcloud/apps/sharepath/username/shared-file-stored-path

In this way, you can use your Nextcloud as CDN origin storage 🌩.

⚠️ Attention Potential security risk: links could be guessed and the files in shared directories can be accessed.

What this fork changes (v0.7.0)

• Fixes the Internal Server Error on every download since Nextcloud 33 (OC_Response was removed from the server core)
• Downloads are streamed through the public OCP API (IRootFolder / File::fopen) instead of private server internals, so future core refactorings are far less likely to break the app again; HTTP Range and multipart range requests keep working
• Restores the Copy sharing path file action in the Vue based files app (Nextcloud 28+, including the @nextcloud/files v4 registry used since Nextcloud 33) — no build step required, plain JS
• Replaces the removed OC.getProtocol() / OC.getHost() / OC_User / legacy event APIs and fixes PHP 8.2+ deprecations
• Errors are logged to nextcloud.log instead of producing an anonymous 500 page

See CHANGELOG for details. Version 0.6.0 is intentionally skipped to stay above the version used by the (also broken on NC 33) AnotherFoxGuy fork, since Nextcloud refuses app downgrades.

Two app ids

./build.sh produces two tarballs from this single code base:

App id	URL	Built from	Purpose
sharepath	/apps/sharepath/<user>/<path>	the sources as they are	Our own app id — this is what gets published on the App Store.
sharingpath	/apps/sharingpath/<user>/<path>	generated variant	The original app id, kept ready so existing links can keep working if the original App Store entry is ever transferred to us (see rookie0#59).

They are functionally identical and can be installed side by side — the generated variant carries its own PHP namespace (OCA\SharingPath instead of OCA\SharePath) so the two never collide in the class loader.

Installation

No build step needed — the app runs as-is.

• Download sharingpath-x.y.z.tar.gz from the releases page and extract it into your Nextcloud apps/ (or custom_apps/) directory:

  tar xzf sharingpath-x.y.z.tar.gz -C /path/to/nextcloud/custom_apps/

• Or clone this repository into apps/sharingpath.

Then enable Sharing Path at Apps > Your apps (or occ app:enable sharingpath).

The upstream Nextcloud App Store entry still ships 0.4.4, which only supports Nextcloud ≤ 24 — use the releases from this fork instead.

Usage

Check Enable sharing path at Settings > Sharing first.

Then just share your files or directories (add a share link without Hide download or Password protect and not expired if an expiration date has been set). You can copy the URL via Copy sharing path / Sharing-Pfad kopieren in the file's ··· actions menu.

There are some settings in Settings > Sharing (Administration & Personal) > Sharing Path you may want to take a look at.

Disclaimer

AI-assisted development. The Nextcloud 25–34 compatibility changes in this fork (v0.7.0 and later) were developed and tested with substantial assistance from an AI coding agent (Claude Code by Anthropic). Every change was verified against a real Nextcloud 33.0.6 instance (download matrix including range requests, files UI action, settings pages), but as with any software: review the code yourself before deploying it to critical environments.

No warranty, no liability. This software is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the authors and maintainers of this fork accept no liability for any damages arising from its use — including, without limitation, data loss or the unintended public exposure of files. Use at your own risk. The governing terms are sections 15 (“Disclaimer of Warranty”) and 16 (“Limitation of Liability”) of the AGPL license.

Security note. By design, everything below a shared folder (or a configured sharing folder) becomes reachable by guessable public URLs without further authentication. Decide consciously where this app is appropriate.
