File Drop Batch
A drop link for every presenter, in Nextcloud
What it does
A Nextcloud app for theatre and event production teams. Build a show from a CSV, by hand in the browser, or synced live from a Google Sheet, and it creates a nested folder per session and an upload-only file-drop link for each, all with the same expiry, then emails every presenter their link. Getting the slides in on time is still up to them, I'm afraid.
It can also create a set of shared root folders once at the top of the batch, and a Nextcloud account per theatre that can see its own folder and the shared ones, but not any other theatre's.
- A folder per session, as Theatre / Date / "Start Time - Presenter"
- An upload-only public file-drop link per folder, with one batch-wide expiry
- Presenter emails, and a CSV handed back with a File Drop Link column added
- Per-theatre accounts with generated passwords, restricted to admins and subadmins
- Live Google Sheet sync — removing a row closes that session automatically
- A persistent sessions list, and rclone mirroring to a site server once the links expire
Where it stands
Released at v1.5.1, with lint, test and release CI all green. The app preview image is a static mockup built from the app's own CSS and markup with made-up sample data, not a capture of it running.
