NextCloud sync via SFOS account

There are very much different threads about NextCloud but does someone has information, whether Jolla has some schedule or are they gonna fix these syncing issues? My calendar and contacts seems to work but that’s it. I would be appreciated of information.

JP 2026 and SFOS 5.2.0.17

What kind of sync issues are you experiencing?

Native nextcloud sync doesn’t do much more than sync contacts, calendar and do backup for nextcloud. +of course the best, shows pictures in gallery app!

If you wish to have native file manager for nextcloud then you probably love Ferry Sync (Cloud File Sync)

I would need those mentioned contacts (OK), calendar (OK), backup (SFOS says, it works but no backup files stored to NC and SFOS also doesn’t see them then). Would be nice to get picture and documents sync working also like in settings there are several setting for WebDav paths.

One way picture sync works already. And like I said, the Ferry sync works for everything else. i agree that it could be more neatly integrated to the nextcloud account thing in accounts, but luckily that ia open source. Someone might do it ine day. Until then I’m super happy with Ferry

Pictures are not synced, but are accessible in Gallery.

How? Up to now you can just upload single pictures from gallery to Nextcloud with the share menu as far as I know. Beeing able to view pictures from Nextcloud in Gallery os no sync.

Ok, so you are able to see Nextcloud pictures in Gallery app? Hmm… Is my webDav path incorrect or what might be?

I would guess so. At least I had to change it so it looked from right place

Viewing photos in Gallery needs the path to a concrete folder in Nextcloud account settings. In my case it’s

/remote.php/dav/files/Username/Foldername

Foldername is a folder in your base directory.

I just played with nextcloud advanced settings

Edit. But this only brings photos/videos from nextcloud to galleria app. It doesn’t upload photos/videos taken with your device back to Nextcloud. This is where Ferry sync comes in play

Now Ferry works. I had certificate issue but that’s solved. But Gallery doesn’t still see my photos. I should have webdav paths ok now. Hmm…

Does someone know, which log I could tail to during trying e.g. backup to NC? I can’t find webdav path to be wrong anymore. Has to be something else.

Don’t really understand your question…

If that means that backup to a Nextcloud doesn’t work I can confirm that - so I guess it’s not your settings but a problem in the system as I don’t get it working on Jolla Phone 2026 nor Xperia 10 III. A first manual sync from Jolla pgone worked, but after that no successful scheduled or manual backup. Phone tells me “not logged in”…

For me the backup to nextcloud works when run manually. Automatic backups don’t work.

My nextcloud is hosted by Hetzner, don’t really know how that is different from others

Contacts are synced. Backups not manually nor automatically. Gallery app doesn’t see my NC pictures. If SFOS has really bug, that’s ok. But NC problems seem to variate quite a lot.
Ferry app can sync with NC after fixing NC certificate.
