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!
I haven't tried, but you might be able to set up a samba share that points to
/var/www/nextcloud-data/USER/files, just make sure that it uses thewww-datauser.This is way too overkill, simply use WebDAV
Nextcloud won't be able to recognise new files if you do it that way. A full scan will be needed before they'll show up in the web app.
Yeah, that will work. It sounds like answer to OPs question, but I have no clue why would someone need that unless there is no client app for that device.
