Maybe Nextcloud File app interface could include a little text node in cursive under the download link remembering this possibility to all users trying to download the file. So concluding, i would say that the only thing we can do is to “alert” (to tell) the people we are sharing files to, that their browser can show this kind of “discouraging” messages alerting of the risk. I agree with that at the end it depends a lot on the browser security-privacy settings, and obviously if you have plugins or anti-malware software installed on your local machine. I think that i tested all these combinations. I means: it never doesn’t show to me some kind of alert or warning, neither when i donwload the file or when i try to open it instead or when i download it and afterwards i open it. I cannot replicate this on my FF75 (on Ubuntu 18.04). but if you’d check the download-butto you’ll get a message that both files arent downloaded very often and so could contain a virus… BOTH files. So i really would like to read other ways to see this matter. Do you react/response in another different way than this mine? I recognize that sometime i’m quite rude or abrupt with third people. Please, share your thoughts in this sense. So, i think that there are probably more people in this forum which has experienced THE SAME SITUATION. Sincerely… i’ve not received yet a confirmation by her about the successful download. So -maybe being a bit stubborn- i decided not to give up to share my PRIVATE DATA without using Nextcloud and his password-protected download (and with expiry date) and i adopted a “didactic tone” in my answer to her, and i explained with screenshots how to download the file and assuring her that IT REALLY THERE IS NOT RISK on download that file. And even then there have been technical problems along the way! For this reason, although the files zipped are already stored and edited on my Nextcloud, i decided to “simply” share a ZIP file for download. Hehe, although you’re thinking about it: it’s IMPOSSIBLE to give this “kind of people” a shared access to the XLS files (i’ve installed OnlyOffice too) or the folders in Files app… this kind of “collaborative work methods” are still 2 light years away for the “normal people”. Specifically, in this ZIP file i was sharing with my accountant (sorry, she is my provider, no my customer! hehehe) the accountancy files of my last 2 months. So progressively i’m using it with customers (Talk app is simply wonderful!!). So i’m using it installed on a VPS, learning to use it. I discovered Nextcloud less than 3 weeks ago and i’m in love with it. I shared this experience, because my scared customer wrote to me ASKING ME PLEASE to share with her the file directly with a ZIP direct dowload URL, as i usually did before to use Nextcloud.
