Collaborative Folders

Maintained by Learnweb – University of Münster, Thomas Niedermaier

Enhance collaboration by providing shared folders to your students automatically. No need to collect Dropbox or ownCloud e-mail addresses anymore: Just add it to a course and select the groups that should collaborate. ownCloud/Nextcloud will privately share one folder per group to its members!

Stable release v3.7-r2.

Changes:

Generated paths will not contain a slash (/) anymore.

Paths are now of the form Module name (id 9) instead of ..._id_9, thus achieving consistency with the naming scheme of repository_nextcloud.

A new segment is added to the end of the path. Generated paths always end in mod_collaborativefolders, also for consistency with the naming scheme of repository_nextcloud.
