Group folders

Admin configured folders shared by everyone in a group.

Configure folders

Folders can be configured from Group folders in the admin settings.

After a folder is created, the admin can give access to the folder to one or more groups and a quota can be assigned for the folder.

edit

Permissions to the content of a group folder can be configured on a per-group basis.

permissions

Folders

Once configured, the folders will show up in the home folder for each user in the configured groups.

Notes

  • Currently using encryption on group folders is not supported, all files stored within a group folder will be stored unencrypted.
  • A new Group folder currently overwrites user folders with the same name. While this does not cause data loss, the users will see the new (empty!) Group folder and wont be able to access their old folder. When the Group folder gets removed, the old folder reappears. While we look into forcing group folders to be unique in an upcoming update, we recommend administrators to make sure the names are unique, for example by prefixing them in a certain way like GS_ and instructing users not to name their own top-level folders in a similar way.

API

Group folders can be configured externally trough the OCS Api.

For all POST calls the required parameters are listed, for more information about how to use an OCS api see the Nextcloud documentation on the topic

The following OCS calls are supported.

  • DELETE apps/groupfolders/folders/$folderId: Delete a group folder.
  • POST apps/groupfolders/folders/$folderId/groups: Give a group access to a folder
    • group: The id of the group to be given access to the folder.
  • DELETE apps/groupfolders/folders/$folderId/groups/$groupId: Remove access from a group to a folder.
