Failed to link: webdav root '' doesn't support public links

Help and Support
1

I'm trying to create shareable link to a file that I have stored in my Nextcloud. However, when I try calling:

rclone link nextcloud:[file]

I get the following error:

Failed to link: webdav root '' doesn't support public links

Is this an issue with rclone, Nextcloud in general, WebDAV in general, or my specific Nextcloud instance/configuration?

It is an issue with the webdav backend. There isn't a webdav protocol to say create a public link - that is what rclone is telling you. I think you'll have to create the shareable link from the nextcloud UI.

OK, thanks for the answer.
