So today I wanted to quickly setup a public shared link so that a friend of mine is able to easily upload a file to me.

Of course, I've stumbled over the file drop but I was not able to find the "File drop (upload only" section when I was creating this share.

I tried to find more information and was digging into the documentation. I was going through the issue list but at the end, I was not able to fix the missing option. I was also quickly updating the server to the latest version, but also, no "File drop" selection.

Than, after reading the logs, investigating the config.php, I finally found the missing link.

As an administrator, you have to go to Sharing and check the Allow public uploads configuration setting. After that, you can finally create your share as a user known as "file drop".
