Admin configured folders shared with everyone in a group.

Folders can be configured from Group folders in the admin settings.

After a folder is created, the admin can give access to the folder to one or more groups, control their write/sharing permissions and assign a quota for the folder.

Note: Encrypting the contents of group folders is currently not supported.

Please be mindful, this review is written within the current chronological context, insofar this app keeps on spamming my logs with endless errors. Usually in the 100's of MGs after a few days. On the surface, for the end user, it works, however I cannot help but to wonder as to why a number of version are being released with these quality issues. It has become far easier to disable it on NC installs where possible or to share folders to users rather than to use existing Group folders.

I am sure these will be fixed in time but these are issues that should never make into production. It has worked in the past, chugging along without issues and due to that, I will rate it as Okay, instead of Bad.

I use it a lot as I am managing several teams. It is great that this app exists. However, the groupfolders team seems to have a habit of pushing releases out without due testing. Last happened yesterday, when they released ver 15.0.1.0 which broke things for many many people, including the users of the 4 nextcloud installs I manage.

So really, please prioritize meticulous testing over frequent releases, please!!!

Regarding state of this app, see this issue. Also Known issues and FAQ could be helpful.

this app messed up my whole NC installation ... thank you very much ... if I could give zero rating this wouldn't be low enough.

how do you come to feature this app - its dangerous and not production ready.

dear developers maybe put your time into something else, or go for a hike ... because this app does not deliver.

OK.

However, see Group Folder 4.1.3 troubles on NC 16.

After an update to groupfolder 3.0.0 occ seems to get broken completely by this app version i.e. including the maintenance command. This seems to be a PHP 7.0 with NC 14 & NC 15 compatibilty issue.

You may have a look at Groupfolder 3.0.0. breaks occ for a possible workaround.

Group folders and Collabora Online are working on NC 14 & NC 15 as applicable.

These App versions are currently available:

There was no data lost due to the issues.

--- 2018-12-10 ---

Versions 2.0.0 & 2.0.1 may break NC 14 + NC 15

See Groupfolders 2.0.0 breaks NC 14 and NC 15 for details.

App has potential, but breaks quite a bit of functionality within Nextcloud. Discussion thread created here on the forum. I really want this app to work, but it is very problematic to use in groups without trash, versioning, or automation via tags.

PLEASE REMOVE THIS APP FROM THE STORE.

No app should delete files from the nextCloud datastore without warning. This app has two bugs which will do just that.

THESE BUGS ARE OVER ONE YEAR OLD.

Very helpful feature. I hope the permissions part will be available soon - otherwise there is only little benefit of it.

Really nice, but looking forward to the ability to set permissions per group!
