OnlyOffice viewing seems to be read-only for external email shares. Config Bug?

[marcusquinn]

When sharing a folder with external parties by email, it seems that OnlyOffice is read-only, regardless of whether the folders being shared have edit permissions.

@marcusquinn send me your email and I'll try sharing a folder with you on my Nextcloud

Edit: or just try this https://office.uniteddiversity.coop/s/knTmKyseXyJPyNK (I presume sending by email is no different)

Seems to work fine to me.

Just to be sure, you're checking the 'Allow editing and uploading checkbox', before sharing, right?

@jdaviescoates Just tested on the link you posted above, and I can edit the Doc in that.

Actually, the issue I've had is with .xlsx files, if you can add one of those to test please?

Yup, have set "Allow upload and editing" on the folder shared via an email link. That's what made it seem so odd.

You should be able to add one yourself?

But I just created one too for good measure.

@jdaviescoates This is the message from the recipient, you'll see they aren't seeing the full OnlyOffice ribbon when opening a file:

@marcusquinn odd.

Was the file perhaps created somewhere else with different permissions or something?

I wonder what would happen if you created a share link for that specific doc?

[marcusquinn]

It seems the issue is reproducible when I go to the directory through the email invite link:

(I'm using the "Min" browser on Mac for interest, but they all seem to have the issue.)

It seems sending by email is different.

I just tested myself too and this is the link in the email that doesn't work:

@jdaviescoates Yup, this is the link I got from the email: https://office.uniteddiversity.coop/s/NdFt74bEjjgiffN

That doesn't work, but the link from the clipboard+left-arrow button in the web interface does work.

Odd isn't it!
