Hi guys
Is there any way to access Nextcloud files (self hosted) in a file manager just like a regular directory or remote location? So the way iCloud or Dropbox allow you to access files and use them for example to upload them in a browser. So far I only managed to access the files in the Nextcloud WebUI or via the command line (but then a resync is necessary).
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
Have you tried the official Nextcloud desktop app?
I did but that's only syncing one folder if I'm not mistaken. I want to see everything though and if I make changes to files these changes should be synced back to the cloud.
That's exactly what the nextcloud desktop app does.
Maybe I'm using the wrong one? Mine just sits in the task bar and displays the sync status and "helpful" app recommendations. I want to see the files though (in Dolphin for example)...
I figured I might have a wrong version or something so I went ahead and grabbed the one off of flathub, but that's the same one. It syncs everything to one folder on the disk but only until the disk is full. I kinda wanted something like iCloud that would show everthing but only download on demand (so it doesn't take up all the space).
