File and folder synchronization
File and folder synchronization ensures that any change to the selected files or folders on a given device (computer, phone, …) is immediately and automatically reflected in the copy of the file in the CD cloud storage, and vice versa.
Be careful: if you delete a synchronized file in one storage, CD will delete it from all synchronized folders!
Connecting NextCloud to CD
This guide assumes that you have downloaded and installed the NextCloud ⧉application. It is a third-party application, and we do not provide support for it except for connecting to the CD service. For more information, see the NextCloud documentation ⧉.
To connect the NextCloud application to CD, follow these steps:
- Open the NextCloud.
- In the Add new account window, select Log in to your Nextcloud.
- Enter the address into the Server address field: https://cd.wedos.com.
- In the newly opened window, click the Log in.
- Log in to the WEDOS iD.
- Click the Grant access.
- Close the window with the notification that access has been granted.
Synchronizing files and folders with NextCloud
If your NextCloud application is successfully connected to your WEDOS CD, you can set which folders and files you want to synchronize. Choose the synchronization options on the side of:
- Server – You can synchronize everything from the server or select specific folders to be synchronized with your PC.
- Local folder – Select which folder on your PC will be synchronized with WEDOS CD.
If the local folder is not empty, specify whether you want to delete or keep the current files.
When you have finished the setup, click the Connect.
Connecting via WebDAV
You can connect any application that supports WebDAV technology to CD.
First, find out the WebDAV URL by following these steps:
- Log in to the CD web interface ⧉.
- In the bottom left menu, click Files settings.
- In the pop-up window, select the WebDAV.
- Copy the WebDAV URL.
Next, get a unique username and password for connecting third-party applications via WebDAV.
Setting a password for applications using WebDAV
Do not connect third-party applications using your WEDOS ID username and password!
Follow this procedure:
- In the top right corner, click your icon and select Settings.
- In the left menu, select Security.
- In the Devices & sessions section, enter a name for the new application and click the Create new app password
- Enter and save the credentials in the given application.
