[opensuse] Nextcloud client
Hello, I use Nextcloud client on openSUSE 15.1 plasma (kde) I plan to use Nextcloud pretty extensively as I just setup a personal server with lot of disk space. but, right now, when I add anything on my Nextcloud account, it's downloaded on my laptop disk. When it was only 10Gb, I could cope with it. of course I can simply use the web interface, but the kde integration is so good I would like to keep it. is it possible to setup the Nextcloud client so that it only keep a link to the server (like the android client does) and download only on demand? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You can't do it per file, but you can select which folders are synchronized. -- Adam Mizerski

If you disable a folder from synchronization, then local content is deleted.

yes. But in android client, there is still a link to the file and you can download it if neccessary. After some while, the file is again removed, but the link still there jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

So this shall be implemented in the file manager extension. It shall list all files, local and remote ones, distinguished by an icon overlay. If a only remote on is opened it will be downloaded and the context menu shall allow to remove the local copy but leaving the remote file.

yes works inside the nexcloud client on android. and have the bad side effect than it's pretty difficult to share a file with the file manager. in linux, the files are in the file manager, and Dilphin (kde) have some sort of incomplete integration jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You could mount your Nextcloud files via webdav. I just tried using dolphin. I was able to connect using my username and application password. I could open and edit text documents, open pdf's (I didn't try to modify or create), but I was unable to open ods/odt documents - Libreoffice would load and then display an error (I think Libreoffice doesn't like KIO). I then tried mounting with davfs2 via mount -t davfs https://mycloudserver.tld/remote.php/webdav /mnt/foo . The mount command requested a username and then password. I did get a warning that the server does not support locks. I was able to access and edit all of my files. Maybe this will work for your use case.

I just tried using dolphin.
