The EasyShare package is an addon for the Nuxeo platform which enables sharing files from the repository with external users not requiring a login.
It allows you to create EasyShare folders in which you can either create documents or make them available from the folder for public sharing. Anyone having the public URL to the EasyShare folder can then download its content without having to log in to the Nuxeo Platform.
