Working with Files in Managed Nextcloud

- Click the plus icon. A context menu appears.
- Select Upload File to upload a local file to your Managed Nextcloud.
Use the New Folder option to structure your Managed Nextcloud file storage. Please note that the New Text Document option creates an MD file. This is a text-only document that can be formatted using Markdown elements.
File Sharing
To share a file in your Managed Nextcloud:
- Log in to your Managed Nextcloud.
- Click the folder icon in the top menu bar. An overview of your existing folders and files is displayed.
- Click the share icon in the row of the file you want to share. A palette appears on the right side of the screen.
