Write Only Subfolder or Share?

[carlel]

What is the best way to create a drop box or incoming style share?

 

My preference would be to have a single share with two subfolders.  Users can write to the dropbox but not delete, and the library is read only.  I don't care whether users can read from the dropbox.

- dropbox

- library

 

I've had a bit of success running SFTP and giving a user write access to a specific folder with a share - but that requires connecting with a whole different protocol.

 

Any suggestions on a better way?

Since you mention dropbox, there is a docker for that.

Lol yes that is an unfortunate overlap of terminology.  Maybe I should have avoided using it. Prior to Dropbox(TM) we'd refer to a network folder shared for the purpose of letting others upload to, a drop box.  MacOS used this, with ~/Public for sharing files out, and ~/Public/Drop Box for sharing in.

 

What I ultimately seek is a way to flag a specific folder within a share as write only.  I assumed the Dropbox docker was just for linking to your Drobox(TM) account, but I will check it out, thanks.
