I want a feature that enables camera photo sync with nextcloud server

I think it’d be a little silly to include this kind of functionality for one specific file server.
Nextcloud supports WebDAV by default, perhaps a native way of mounting/syncing a WebDAV folder would achieve the same while being more generally useable.

Is there an easy way to sync photogallery to a cloud? Any cloud.
rclone was made for this.
Search the forum for some guides on the topic.

I also Use rclone for this purpose - i played a Little Bit around with an own App on top of it some weeks ago for myself to have a nicer user Interface and Control Sync Times, WLAN Sync or mobile Data Sync etc within a User Interface.
Currently the App-UI is working with seafile Server only, but rclone does support all Kind of cloudservers out of the box.
—> if more guys are interested in such an App I could make it nicer and publish it

I’m very much interested!
Interested! Definitely
i use SailSync on my all SF devices SailSync ownCloud | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System result is everything nicely synced between all devices including iPhones and iPads…
@DominikH maybe resurect SailSync project instead of making new app ?

Just to check, I think SailSync doesn’t currently work out of the box, but requires a little bit hacking to be done? +1 for having multiple devs working with same project, but devs decide for themselves
no it just works, i only had to lower min. required client version in nextcloud php config.
@koza yeah, can also collaborate there but that would mean a complete redesign of this app, because it’s using as „backend“ the official owncloud-cli tool and i’m using rclone which is a complete different thing.
i can get into contact with the DEV and checkout possibilities (or are you the dev?)
Nextcloud is not just one specific file server, it is the one with existing account integration in Sailfish OS. But this integration completely lacks a major Nextcloud use case: file synchronization.
Asking for adding file / folder synchronization to the Nextcloud account integration is not too much to ask, I think.

Yea, of course integrated way to the system accounts would probably be the neatest.
yes Sailsync is using owncloud-cli, rclone is way much universal, i use rclone for syncing on my old Jolla phone 1.
i am dev but not of SailSync 
For sure if you have time for that +1 for your app. I think more people could help to improve after you publish sources.
We should not expect that Jolla will make it in next 10 years as there is too much native features what Sailfish needs to add or improve to be real alternative to android or ios…
I’m thrilled regarding your work, no matter what. But out of curiosity, could your solution be integrated to native Nextcloud bits? Could your solution be the file syncin plugin? GitHub - sailfishos/sailfish-account-nextcloud: Sailfish Account NextCloud · GitHub
Edit. I am just wondering as there isn’t native solution yet. So why couldn’t your solution be the one to be used officially

Mhm to be honest I dont have experience (yet) in integrating something into official Accounts Plugins
Lets try this approach:
- Before Finishing my App I will Talk to the dev of sailsync and try to collaborate there
- If that does Not work I will make my App nicer and publish it
- Then we can Check with the Nextcloud Integrators if the Code fits somehow (or not) to the Nextcloud Plugin
for me it will have no benefit because im using seafile Server an no Nextcloud (means also im not able to test) , but I will try to Support as much as I can.

Just dropping an idea. I can create an account to my Nextcould instance if you want to test it? Say, something like a 5 Gb storage should be more than enough for some test photos/documents/etc.

.. seems like i cannot come around your nextcloud integration?
i have seen there are also public hosted instances available with accounts at no cost - if that’s the same i can also open an account there guys

I use thegood.cloud which is in Amsterdam, great service and support. I almost bought a paid account to help them, except I absolutely don’t need it.
Hi, Sailsync ownCloud author here, I’ve been forwarded this thread, I just want to add my two cents:
As per the license (zlib), please feel free to take code/fork it, my only request is that you give the new project a (significantly) different name to avoid confusion.
I’d like to keep SailSync ownCloud using the official ownCloud/Nextcloud binaries, as that was always my intention (fewer compatibility issues).
Thank you
