<h1>Federated Shares<a class="headerlink" href="#federated-shares" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p>Federation Sharing allows you to mount file shares from remote Nextcloud servers, in effect
creating your own cloud of Nextclouds. You can create direct share links with
users on other Nextcloud servers.</p>
<section id="creating-a-new-federation-share">
<h2>Creating a new Federation Share<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-new-federation-share" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Federation sharing is enabled by default. Follow these steps to create a new share with other Nextcloud or ownCloud servers:</p>
<p>Go to your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Files</span></code> page and click the Share icon on the file or directory
you want to share. In the sidebar enter the username and URL of the remote user
in this form: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;username&gt;&#64;&lt;nc-server-url&gt;</span></code>. In this example, that is
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bob&#64;cloud.example.com</span></code>:</p>
<figure class="align-default">
<img alt="../_images/share-federation-1.png" src="../_images/share-federation-1.png" />

<p>The sharee is receiving a notification in their Nextcloud, allowing them to either accept or decline the incoming share:</p>
