Transfer file from URL is missing for shared folders (Write Allowed)

[njarun]

Current behaviour

For all folders when the user is logged in the below is the create context dropdown

But for a public shared folder which has upload/write enabled, the transfer via url option is missing.

Expected behaviour

Transfer file via url option is expected to be available in the shared folders for which write access is provided.

System information

The menu entry for this plugin is added to the page in a less reliable way, due to a limitation of the core Nextcloud code.

Please could you check the browser console for any error messages on the page where the option is missing?

Hello Danth,

Below are the only errors I found on the shared folder loading.

Refused to apply style from 'https://nextcloudinstance.com/apps/theming/styles?v=18' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.

jQuery is deprecated: The global jQuery is deprecated. It will be removed in a later versions without another warning. Please ship your own.

globals.js:62 Handlebars is deprecated: please ship your own, this will be removed in Nextcloud 20

Thank you.

I don't see any relevant errors there.

Perhaps the transfer app is not being loaded at all for public shares.

Hi, I've taken over maintaining the app and I'm working through the open issues.
I looked into this one and unfortunately it's not a simple fix. The app was built around authenticated users only: the script only loads in the authenticated Files app, not on public share pages, and the backend needs a logged-in user to know where to save the file. Supporting public shares would mean resolving share tokens to owners, adding unauthenticated endpoints, and carefully reviewing the security implications of allowing anonymous requests to trigger server-side downloads.
I'd like to support this eventually but it's a significant piece of work. Relabelling as a feature request for now.
