Zip all files located in the `src` folder such that the install.rdf and chrome.manifest are located in the root folder of the zip file\n1. Change the file extension from .zip to .xpi\n1. Open your Thunderbird, navigate to `Tools -\u003e Add-Ons`, choose \"Install Add-On From File...\" and select the .xpi file\n1. After installation restart Thunderbird\n\n## Nextcloud configuration\n\n1. Make sure that you have checked \"Allow users to share via link\" in the **\"Sharing\"** section of the admin page of your Nextcloud installation. If you have also checked-in the **\"Enforce password protection\"** option, make sure to fill the **\"Password for uploaded files\"** field when setting up the add-on in Thunderbird\n1. By default your mail attachments will be saved in a folder called `Mail-attachments`.\n\n*Note: It's also possible to use a different folder name. Simply type the name of the folder you want to use when setting up the provider in Thunderbird*\n\n## Thunderbird configuration\n\n![Screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-filelink/master/screenshots/setup.png)\n\n1. Navigate to `Edit -\u003e Preferences -\u003e Attachments` \n1. Choose the `Outgoing` tab\n1. Click the Add button. The \"Set up Filelink\" panel will open.\n1. Select the desired service provider from the drop-down list.\n1. Select Nextcloud from the list and type in the URL to your server as well as your login and password\n\n*Note: If you want to send your email attachments to a different folder, you will have to modify the path given in \"Storage path\"*\n\nOnce setup is complete, Thunderbird will always ask you if you want to upload big attachments to Nextcloud.\n\n## Requirements\n\n* Nextcloud: 11.0.2 and newer\n* Thunderbird: 17.0 and newer\n\n## Known issues\n\n* It's not possible to use the same Filelink provider more than once\n* You can only create public links\n* Public links will always have the same password\n* You cannot edit your Filelink account. You have to delete and re-create it if you need a change (password, folder, link password, port, etc.)\n\nBest ask for help [on our forums.](https://help.nextcloud.com/c/apps/filelink)\n\n## License\n\nLicensed under the GNU AGPL version 3 or any later version\n\n## Contribution Guidelines\n\nAll contributions to this repository from February, 10 2017 on are considered to be\nlicensed under the AGPLv3 or any later version.\n\n\"Nextcloud for Filelink\" doesn't require a CLA (Contributor License Agreement).\nThe copyright belongs to all the individual contributors.
