Using Go:

$ share [flags] [file] [provider]
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--setup, -s |
Launch interactive setup |
--select, -p |
Select provider for this upload interactively |
--version, -v |
Print version and exit |
--config PATH |
Path to config file (default: ~/.config/sharecmd/config.json) |
If no active provider is configured, setup launches automatically.
You can temporarily override the active provider by specifying its label as an argument. The order of arguments doesn't matter:
$ share filename.zip dropbox # Upload to dropbox
$ share dropbox filename.zip # Same as above
$ share my-nextcloud report.pdf # Upload to provider labeled "my-nextcloud"
If an argument matches a configured provider label, that provider is used instead of the default active provider.
Interactive provider selection:
Use the --select (or -p) flag to choose a provider interactively:
$ share --select document.pdf
? Select provider for this upload
> my-dropbox (dropbox)
work-nextcloud (nextcloud)
personal-gdrive (googledrive)
If you provide an invalid provider name, an interactive menu appears automatically:
$ share dr document.pdf
Argument "dr" is not a configured provider.
? Select provider for this upload
> my-dropbox (dropbox)
work-nextcloud (nextcloud)
personal-gdrive (googledrive)
ShareCmd uploads the file to the configured cloud provider and creates a public share link for anyone who has the link. The link is printed (with optional QR code) and optionally copied to the system clipboard (Windows/Linux/macOS).
The configuration is stored in ~/.config/sharecmd/config.json. Old single-provider
configs (v1) are automatically migrated to the new multi-provider format on first load.
Uploads files via HTTP PUT to a configurable base URL. The file is PUT to <base-url>/<filename>.
Custom HTTP headers can be added as JSON. Header values support Go template functions for dynamic values:
| Function | Description | Example output |
|---|---|---|
{{now "2006-01-02"}} |
Current date | 2026-02-19 |
{{addDays N "2006-01-02"}} |
Date + N days | 2026-02-26 |
Example header configuration for a purge-date header one week in the future:
{"x-purgets": "{{addDays 7 \"2006-01-02\"}}T16:09:09+02:00"}Uploads all files to /sharecmd (folder auto-generated). Re-uploading the same filename creates a new version.
