Unable to add repository from my local file system.Here is my local repository's struct:

A new version is available with a bunch of improvments and fixes:

• GitHub Release: https://github.com/QGIS-Contribution/QGIS-ResourceSharing/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta1
• official QGIS plugins repository: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis_resource_sharing/version/1.0.0-beta1/

For now, it's still flagged as experimental.
Can you test again and tell me if you still encounter this bug please?

I used the 1.0.0-beta1 version to test again and it still doesn’t work.The same bug.

Thanks for taking time to test again.

According to the document

Can you point me the part of documentation you are talking about please?

my repository URL should be like this: file://E:/QGISResources

Not sure about that on Windows...
Can you try:

• to use back-slash instead of slash: file:\\\\E:\\QGISResources
• to confirm that your repository structure is okay, can you copy it to your computer (not on locl network I mean) and try again?

Thanks for your reply.
The documentation "https://qgis-contribution.github.io/QGIS-ResourceSharing/authoring/creating-repository.html#preparing-the-repository".The part I mentioned is in ”Preparing the Repository“.The old version's doc said the local file system url should like "file://C://home//repository_root"

I change back-slash,still not work.
Its not the problem of repository structure i think.

Same here.
I tried all possible combinations of slashes (i think) : triple & quadriple, forward & backward, with & without trailing slash.
1.00-beta1 in QGis 3.22.5 on Win10.

Btw. Eventually I hope I can get this to work in combination with Sharepoint/Onedrive
