Hi,

I’m writing a script to migrate from Ajaxplorer 4.2.3 to the latest Pydio version.

I’m need to recreate shares (mainly folder shared with other user and file shared publicly).

I found endpoint “/workspace\_alias/share/simple\_share\_type/file+” in APIv1 but I’m wondering if:

- I can create share for any user when I logged in as admin?
- Is there equivalent action in APIv2?

Thanks
