Hello, I’m trying to figure out how to share privately large files too big for e-mail (10-1000MB) while making use of my box (so that I don’t have to rely on external services).
So far I’ve figured out how to host them via HTTP and that would be adequate but I can’t seem to figure out how to password protect them in nginx.
Any nginx tricks or simpler ways to do this?
@Tiger Use the included NextCloud instance … that is part of the reason it is there. Although not well documented as its intended usage is for caldav/carddav it still works fully as a file storage/transfer solution.
@alento Thanks, sounds good. Is there a noob guide for NextCloud? I tried to set it up on something else a couple years ago and got lost 
It is already set up … see the admin area for access info. As for how to use it - mostly just experience / common sense … but if you are completely inexperienced with similar file storage/transfer/handling solutions I’d suggest reading the material on the NextCloud web site.
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/
This manual is newer than the version of NC installed with MiaB but I would imagine it would still be helpful.
There is also the NextCloud forums but they cover so many aspects of NC that are not included with MiaB.
Oh thanks, just realized it’s at box.*****.com/cloud. I’ll get right on it!
