I just read about people struggling with Next loud in the OpenDesk thread and wanted to share this in case someone is interested in contributing to this project.
Bitching about nextcloud seems to be some people’s hobby around here.
Looks really nice and seems like it should be a great foundation for future development. Personally I can’t lose Nextcloud until there are sufficiently featureful and reliable clients for Linux, Windows, Android that synchronize a local copy and help manage the inevitable file deconfliction (Nextcloud Desktop only barely qualifies at this, but it does technically qualify and that represents the minimum viable product for me). I’m not sure a WebDav client alone is enough to satisfy this criteria, but I am not going to pretend I am actually familiar with any WebDav clients so maybe they already exist.
I’ve tried several WebDav clients, and I’ve found that the great majority will work great. Their performance will depend on the server. For example, Nextcloud was slow. CopyParty was blazing fast, as if it was a local folder.
You might want to checkout CopyParty too, it’s UX/UI sucks, but you don’t need to see it, since you can use it with almost any client on any platform via any protocol.
Have you found any interesting clients or just “filezilla but for webdav” style ones?
I was also wondering if it will sync.
Mostly happy with syncthing, but open to trying new solutions.
Checkout opencloud, owncloud clients are compatible with it
