Nautilus-share is a user-friendly Nautilus plugin allowing you to share folders without root permission.
One of the key benefits of nautilus-share is how quickly and easily it integrates with Nautilus. There's no need to search for a separate application in a sub-menu; simply right-click on a folder, choose the "Share" entry, check the checkbutton, and you're done.
Another standout feature is that it doesn't require root access. You can share your own folders without requiring any root password. It employs sophisticated technology, including DBus(), which is also used by other leading software projects such as NetworkManager() and Gnome-volume-manager().
Moreover, Nautilus-share ensures that your shares are accessible to Windows and Mac users by utilising Samba as its backend. It is also equipped with some great tools that enable you to check the share name as you type it. If the name is already used or forbidden, you will be alerted immediately.
Nautilus share also offers visual indicators that show if the share name is too long or not valid. It also provides you with a nice palm on the folder that you share, eliminating the need for a separate application to check it.
Additionally, Nautilus-share offers internationalization, supporting a range of languages such as English, French, Polish, German, Finnish, Brazilian, and Italian. Contributions for other languages are welcome.
Finally, Nautilus-share is built to meet the GNOME HIG standards as closely as possible. The software only requires dbus, libglade, libdaemon, and nautilus to run correctly. Overall, Nautilus-share is an incredibly useful Nautilus extension that enables you to share folders quickly and easily without requiring root access.
