Untested (by me at least) but I wonder if you can disable creation of user home folders (~ "My Files") in alfresco-global.properties for new users ?

home.folder.creation.disabled=true

You would need to check the effect in the UIs (and any other client integrations) to see if they degrade gracefully or require customisation.

You may wish also need to go back and remove existing user home folders. If you go down this path, I highly recommend doing a backup first (with a tested restore to a separate system) 😉

Regards,

Jan

When using this configuration, you need to start from scratch, as user home folders are created (on not) on user creation.

Here are a a few solutions, which I have not tested, buy may work:

1. This is the default location of the users' home folders:

spaces.user_homes.childname=app:user_homes

Set it with a different folder name in alfresco-global.properties (you may have to create a folder named "/my user homes"):

spaces.user_homes.childname=app:my_user_homes

2. Disable the automatic creation of home folders:

home.folder.creation.disabled=true

After restarting, users will be unable to see their home folder after clicking on their home directory.

3. Optional: remove the menu option from the Share page (Removing a menu item (Aikau) | Alfresco Documentation )

4. There is still a problem: astute users may find a way to access their old home using the right URL. If you can't delete the home folders, then you should change the ownership of the folders and files (let's say, to admin).

Hi,

First of all, you should override the following out-of-the-box package "org.alfresco.share.header" by your custom one.

To achieve that overriding, you should use surf module extension (for more info: https://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/tasks/dev-extensions-share-tutorials-custom-header-admin-menu.html).

And then, all what you have to do is add this line

widgetUtils.deleteObjectFromArray(model.jsonModel, "id", "HEADER_MY_FILES");

in your custom webScript controller "share-header.get.js"

That's all what you need to hide"MY FILES" from header.

Peace up,

mjaatit
