File and folder synchronization
File and folder synchronization ensures that any change to selected files or folders on a given device (computer, phone, ...) is immediately and automatically reflected in the file copy in the CD cloud storage, and vice versa.
Warning: if you delete a synchronized file on one storage, CD will delete it from all synchronized folders!
Connecting NextCloud with CD
This guide assumes that you have downloaded and installed the NextCloud ⧉ application. This is a third-party application, and apart from the connection to the CD service, we do not provide support for it. Look for information in the NextCloud ⧉ documentation.
When connecting the NextCloud application with CD, proceed as follows:
- Open the NextCloud application.
- In the Add new account window, select Sign in to your NextCloud.
- Enter https://cd.wedos.com into the Server address field.
- In the newly opened window, click the Sign in button.
- Sign in to WEDOS iD.
- Click the Grant access button.
- Close the window with the access granted notification.
Synchronizing files and folders with NextCloud
If you have successfully connected the NextCloud application with your WEDOS CD, you can set which folders and files you want to synchronize. Choose the synchronization options from the side:
- Server – You can synchronize everything from the server or select specific folders that will be synchronized with your PC.
- Local folders – Choose which folder on your PC will be synchronized with WEDOS CD.
If the local folder is not empty, decide whether you want to delete the existing files or keep them.
After completing the setup, click the Connect button.
Connecting via WebDAV
You can connect any application supporting WebDAV technology to CD.
First, find out the WebDAV URL by following these steps:
- Sign in to the CD web interface ⧉.
- In the lower-left menu, click Settings for Files.
- In the pop-up window, select the WebDAV tab.
- Copy the WebDAV URL.
Next, obtain a unique username and password for connecting third-party applications via WebDAV.
Password setup for WebDAV applications
Avoid connecting 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 and sessions section, enter the name of the new application and click the Create new password… button
- Enter and save the login credentials for the given application.
Keep in mind that:
- The generated username or password cannot be changed. You can only Revoke it and create a new one.
- Avoid selecting Clear device content. It may cause access problems.
