Direct Link for an already-shared folder or file

FileCloud IT Services shared this idea 3 years ago
Needs Review

If I share a folder "abc" publicly with no password required, I will get a link like this:

https://mysite.filecloudonline.com/url/abc

If I then click the button to create a "Direct Link" for that folder, I will get a link like this:

https://mysite.filecloudonline.com/ui/core/index.html?#expl-tabl.%2FSHARED%2Fmysite%2Fabc

This Direct Link requires users to log in.


The new feature/behavior we would like to request is this:

1.) If I request a Direct Link to a folder that has already been shared publicly, the Direct Link should be the public share link:

https://mysite.filecloudonline.com/url/abc

instead of a password-protected link:

https://mysite.filecloudonline.com/ui/core/index.html?#expl-tabl.%2FSHARED%2Fmysite%2Fabc


2.) Furthermore, similar functionality should work for creating a Direct Link to a subfolder or file within a publicly shared folder. For example, if there is a file called hello.zip inside the publicly shared folder abc, then if I request a Direct Link to hello.zip, I should get this public share link:

https://mysite.filecloudonline.com/url/abc/hello.zip

instead of a password-protected link:

https://mysite.filecloudonline.com/ui/core/index.html?filter=hello.zip##expl-tabl.%2FSHARED%2Fmysite%2Fabc
