nautilus-share

So, have you heard about nautilus-share? It's a super handy Nautilus extension that makes sharing folders a breeze, and guess what? You don't even need root access!

Key Features of nautilus-share

Here are some cool features:

• Easy to Use: Just make a couple of choices. Pick a name for your share and decide if it’s read-only or read/write.


• Quick Integration: No more hunting for separate apps! Just right-click on the folder you want to share, select “Share,” check the box, and you’re all set!


• No Root Needed: Share your own folders without bothering anyone for their root password. It uses dbus technology, just like NetworkManager and gnome-volume-manager.


• Cross-Platform Sharing: Thanks to Samba as its backend, Windows and Mac users can access your shared folders too!


• Instant Apply: Changes take effect right away! Whether you change the name or permissions, it’s done instantly.


• Name Check: While you type your share name, it’ll tell you if it's already in use or not allowed.
