Summary

optionally hide hidden files if accessed via public share
config.php setting: hide_hidden_files_via_public_share_access true|false (default = false)

Nextcloud users are able to show/hide hidden files (starting with dot "."). However if a folder containing hidden files is accessed via a public share hidden files are shown. As far as I can see there is currently no option available to hide hidden files for public share access.

I'm not sure if this is a valid or the best way to implement this. It's just a way I figured out to implement it. By default this change should not have any impact. Only if enabled via config.php setting 'hide_hidden_files_via_public_share_access' => true hidden files are excluded from file list if a folder is accessed via a public share link.

Before (example using a nextcloud maps share)

After and enabled via config.php
