Integration of Jellyfin with Nextcloud (nextcloud.com)

As most know, Jellyfin is great for consuming media stored on any drive. I integrated my Jellyfin library with Nextcloud to:

Enable friends in different locations to upload and manage files.
Share specific media with people who don't have accounts
Sync media between devices

Install Nextcloud and setup an external drive.
Assign the Jellyfin account to the Nextcloud user group: usermod -aG nextcloud jellyfin
Add the libraries in Jellyfin

I gave my friends access to create but not delete media on the drive for safety. We sync what we want to different devices to play on better apps for the media type such as Librera Reader for books and Voice for audiobooks.

Hey, that’s not dumb!

I do this, but the other direction. My friends/family have access to a guest Nextcloud account which is read-only. That lets them download everything from me.
