Add WebDAV Account
Add a WebDAV storage account to PlaidCloud for importing and exporting data files using WebDAV-compatible servers such as Nextcloud, ownCloud, or Apache.
WebDAV Server Setup
Ensure the following are available from your WebDAV server administrator:
- The WebDAV endpoint URL (e.g.
https://nextcloud.yourcompany.com/remote.php/dav/files/username/) - A username with access to the target directory
- A password or app-specific password for authentication
Note: Many cloud services expose a WebDAV interface. For example, Nextcloud uses
https://your-server/remote.php/dav/files/{username}/ and ownCloud uses https://your-server/remote.php/webdav/. Check your provider's documentation for the correct URL.You should now have everything you need to add your WebDAV account to PlaidCloud Document.
