Filesharing in Liferay

Liferay's Document Library is great, you can do so many things! You can upload files, manage them in folders and even share links. But there is a downside: when sharing links the recipient needs either an account or you have to make the file accessible for all guest users. We can't share a file with just a password...oh wait! Now we can!

 

Ancud FileShare Portlet

 

This portlet allows you to share files for a given time span and with a password (or without). It will generate a friendly URL, which you can then share with your friends. Within the span, they can download the file using the password (or without if no password was specified).

Moreover, you can share whole folders. Similar to files, you can define a time span and a password, but also the number of possible file uploads for the folder and whether or not the folder's content is visible.

It's easy to use and free! Try it and leave a comment. :)
