Creates a share for one file or folder. For a public link you can set a password, an expiry date (YYYY-MM-DD) and a note; permissions default to read only. For a user, group or email address, set share_with. The reply contains the link or the share ID. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
