<h1>Accessing Nextcloud files using WebDAV<a class="headerlink" href="#accessing-nextcloud-files-using-webdav" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Nextcloud fully supports the WebDAV protocol, and you can connect and synchronize
with your Nextcloud files over WebDAV. In this chapter you will learn how to
connect Linux, macOS, Windows, and mobile devices to your Nextcloud server via
WebDAV. Before we get into configuring WebDAV, let’s take a quick look at the
recommended way of connecting client devices to your Nextcloud servers.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>In the following examples, you should replace <strong>example.com/nextcloud</strong> with the
URL of your Nextcloud server (omit the directory part if the installation is
in the root of your domain), and “USERNAME” with the username of the connecting user.</p>
<p class="last">See the webdav url (bottom left, settings) on your Nextcloud.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="nextcloud-desktop-and-mobile-clients">
<h2>Nextcloud Desktop and mobile clients<a class="headerlink" href="#nextcloud-desktop-and-mobile-clients" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The recommended way to synchronize a desktop PC with a Nextcloud server is by
using <a class="reference external" href="https://nextcloud.com/install/#install-clients">Nextcloud/ownCloud sync clients</a>. You can configure the
client to save files in any local directory and you can choose which
directories on the Nextcloud server to sync with. The client displays the
current connection status and logs all activity, so you always know which
remote files have been downloaded to your PC and you can verify that files
created and updated on your local PC are properly synchronized with the server.</p>
<p>The recommended way to synchronize Nextcloud server with Android and
Apple iOS devices is by using the <a class="reference external" href="https://nextcloud.com/install/">mobile apps</a>.</p>
<p>To connect your mobile app to a Nextcloud server use the
base URL and folder only:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">nextcloud</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In addition to the mobile apps provided by Nextcloud or ownCloud, you can use other apps to
connect to Nextcloud from your mobile device using WebDAV. <a class="reference external" href="http://seanashton.net/webdav/">WebDAV Navigator</a> is
a good (proprietary) app for <a class="reference external" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schimera.webdavnavlite">Android devices</a> and <a class="reference external" href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/webdav-navigator/id382551345">iPhones</a>. The URL to use on these is:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">nextcloud</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">remote</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">php</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">dav</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">files</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">USERNAME</span><span class="o">/</span>

<div class="section" id="webdav-configuration">
<h2>WebDAV configuration<a class="headerlink" href="#webdav-configuration" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>If you prefer, you may also connect your desktop PC to your Nextcloud server by
using the WebDAV protocol rather than using a special client application. Web
Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is a Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP) extension that makes it easy to create, read, and edit files on Web
servers. With WebDAV you can access your Nextcloud shares on Linux, macOS and
Windows in the same way as any remote network share, and stay synchronized.</p>

<h2>Creating WebDAV mounts on the Linux command line<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-webdav-mounts-on-the-linux-command-line" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>You can create WebDAV mounts from the Linux command line. This is useful if you
prefer to access Nextcloud the same way as any other remote filesystem mount.
The following example shows how to create a personal mount and have it mounted
automatically every time you log in to your Linux computer.</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first">Install the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">davfs2</span></code> WebDAV filesystem driver, which allows you to mount
WebDAV shares just like any other remote filesystem. Use this command to
install it on Debian/Ubuntu:</p>

</pre></div>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
<ol class="arabic" start="3">
<li><p class="first">Then create a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nextcloud</span></code> directory in your home directory for the

</div>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Then test that it mounts and authenticates by running the following
command. If you set it up correctly you won’t need root permissions:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">mount</span> <span class="o">~/</span><span class="n">nextcloud</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Now every time you login to your Linux system your Nextcloud share should
automatically mount via WebDAV in your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/nextcloud</span></code> directory. If you prefer
to mount it manually, change <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">auto</span></code> to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">noauto</span></code> in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/etc/fstab</span></code>.</p>

<p>If you use the native Windows implementation, you can map Nextcloud to a new
drive. Mapping to a drive enables you to browse files stored on a Nextcloud
server the way you would files stored in a mapped network drive.</p>
<p>Using this feature requires network connectivity. If you want to store your
files offline, use the Desktop Client to sync all files on your
Nextcloud to one or more directories of your local hard drive.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Prior to mapping your drive, you must permit the use of Basic</p>
</div>
<p>Authentication in the Windows Registry: launch „regedit“ and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesWebClientParameters.
Create or edit the DWORD value „BasicAuthLevel“ (Windows Vista, 7 and 8) or
„UseBasicAuth“ (Windows XP and Windows Server 2003) and set its value data
to 1 for SSL connections. Value 0 means that Basic Authentication is disabled,
a value of 2 allows both SSL and non-SSL connections (not recommended).
Then exit Registry Editor, and restart the computer.</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">This example uses Cyberduck version 4.2.1.</p>
</div>
<p>To use Cyberduck:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Specify a server without any leading protocol information. For example:</li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<div><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">example.com</span></code></div></blockquote>
<p>2. Specify the appropriate port. The port you choose depends on whether or not
your Nextcloud server supports SSL. Cyberduck requires that you select a
different connection type if you plan to use SSL. For example:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><p>80 (for WebDAV)</p>
<p>443 (for WebDAV (HTTPS/SSL))</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p>3. Use the ‘More Options’ drop-down menu to add the rest of your WebDAV URL into
the ‘Path’ field. For example:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/</span></code></div></blockquote>
