In the top bar, select „Files”. Open the folder you want the file in. Drag the files from your computer onto the file list: they upload into this folder. For things you use often, choose „Add to favorites” in the file's menu to put them under „Favorites”. Share with a family member A shared file or folder also shows up in the family member's own account. Select the share icon in the row of the file or folder. Under „Internal shares”, type the family member's name and pick it. Choose „View only” or „Allow editing”. Select „Save share”. Send a link to someone without an account A link lets someone who has no account on your box open the file too. Select the share icon in the row of the file. Under „External shares”, select „Create a new share link”. Nextcloud copies the link to the clipboard: paste it into an e-mail or a message. A deleted file and an older version A deleted file does not vanish at once, and earlier versions of a changed file are kept for a while too. In the menu on the left, open „Deleted files”. Find the file and select „Restore” in its menu. For an older version of a file, choose „Details” in the file's menu, then the „Versions” tab. At the version you want, select „Restore version”. Frequently asked questions How long are deleted files kept? At least 30 days, under „Deleted files”. After that, Nextcloud deletes them by itself when it needs the space. Why is the Hungarian Nextcloud so formal? Nextcloud's Hungarian translation uses the formal form of address. The labels mean the same. How do I change my password? Select your profile picture in the top right corner, then „Personal settings” (for a family member: „Settings”). On the „Security” page, enter the old and the new password and select „Change password”. Is there a calendar and an address book? They are not installed by default. With the admin account, you can install them on the „Apps” page in the profile picture menu. Where are my files, and are they backed up? On the drive you chose at install time. For their backup, look at the „Data and backup” tab of Nextcloud. Documentation Official documentation ↗
