Create Share

To create a share within the Network File Storage's cluster, via the API, perform a POST request with the clusterId. The request automatically creates a share within the respective cluster.

Prerequisites: Only contract administrators, owners, and users with accessAndManageNFS privileges can create and manage clusters.

Endpoints

Use a region-specific endpoint to create a share: https://nfs.{region}.ionos.com/clusters/{clusterId}/shares
