Hi community, can somebody please help me with this problem? Public shares work as long as I don’t set any access options like “Password”, “Will expire on” or “Allowed Downloads”. **Password:** If the recipient clicks on a link with password, he can log in successfully and the login window disappears. But the shared file/folder is not displayed. **"Will expire on":** When the recipient calls up the link in the browser, the message “Sorry, this link is expired”! appears immediately. But it hasn’t expired. **"Allowed Downloads":** With this option set, the recipient can use the link, but the downloads are not really limited. my installation: Ubuntu 18.04, Pydio Cells Home Edition 1.0.2 (stable) Thank you in advance for your help Meilk ---

Hi @meilk All these options should be functional, @zayn can you retest that? Regarding the first one, what browser are you using when opening the link? ---

Hi @charles / @zayn, I have tested with all popular browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, IE). But the result was always the same. I can enter the password and the input window disappears. After that, however, no download option appears. I only see the same background image as before login (but without login window). ---

Hi, i’ve tested the **password** if you only use that it works, you can also combine it with the **allowed downloads** (the limitation does not seem to work we will look into it) and at last the **Will expire on** which seems to not work and therefore displays an “expired link” (i’ve looked into my server s time zone etc…). We will take a look into all of the above. The password should be working take a look at [my configuration](http://i.prntscr.com/_SU_x2woQky_YhxwBGfdgA.png). ---

Could you please test something for the password, Create a role and set the [auto apply to shared](http://i.prntscr.com/Vhk_9smqQsywXX9hE7ghpw.png) then go to the workspace tab and tick deny to all of the workspaces also do that on the application page to be sure. After that recreate a public link and tell me what happens. ---

Hi zyan, only the password alone doesn’t work for me. I can’t see in your picture that you have set a password. I only used the password option and the effect is as described above. please look at my configuration: ![My%20Access%20Settings](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/1X/4f73d964770b00dc8e5a9853434d33d385f416e5.png) ---

Hi, we released a new update that fixes those issues, could you please upgrade and tell me if it’s working well. If you see that you have a blank page don’t forget to check the external role permissions. ---

Hi zayn, good news. If it’s available tomorrow, I will do it then. ---

It should be available on the stable channel, you can update your cells right now. ---

not at all, you can upgrade through the web interface, then you will just have to restart when prompted for it, by firstly closing cells with `ctrl + c` then using `./cells start` and it should be good to go. ---

Hi zayn, I figured it out myself 🙂 I was updating over wget but after the restart I was just wondering that cells no longer listens to port 443. But “sudo setcap ‘cap\_net\_bind\_service=+ep’ cells” fixed everything. So, now to the test: everything works fine now! The functions “Allowed Downloads” and “Will expire on” work as desired. ---

yes, this can work too as long as you don’t forget to set cap the new binary, i’m glad that you have everything working well, if this is solved may i close the topic? ---

Hi zayn, I can confirm that everything works fine now (password, expired on, allowed downloads). I still have a few things on the list. But I’ll ask them separately. Thank you and all the developers for the quick help! ---
