Copy link

When collaborating with workmates I often want to send them links to files I just uploaded. E.g. "What do you think about Development\Documentation\My idea.pdf?

Currently I have to build that path my self: First copy folder path, then copy file name.

The best solution would be: #2596
But since it seems to be very complex it might suffice to have a context menu Copy relative file path to clipboard when right clicking the file in the file explorer.

Note: I didn't quite understand what Copy ownCloud Link from #5023 is about but it sound related.

From what I understand, you want to copy the absolute path in your disk of a file you are sharing through an owncloud folder with your mates. This is tricky, since they can set a different Folder Sync Connection (meaning, they can select a different local path on their computers to sync the same remote folder)

You can rely on some OS native features to achieve this: e.g. if you are in OS X, you can hold the alt (⌥ / option) key while in the context menu to show the Copy <file> as Pathname option that will copy in your clipboard the absolute path of the selected file. Similarly you can do this in Linux and with some workarounds in Windows.

And yes, I'm with you on both features #2596 and #5023 being interesting for the desktop client. Best you can do is leave a 👍 in those to show your support to their development.

Thanks!
