WebDAV

Connect a WebDAV server directly in meinGPT — Nextcloud, ownCloud, SharePoint and others

Set up in meinGPT

Open Settings → Data sources, click Add data source, and choose WebDAV. Fill in the following fields:

FieldRequiredDescription
Vendor✅Nextcloud, Owncloud (PHP-based), ownCloud Infinite Scale, Fastmail Files, SharePoint Online (Microsoft account), SharePoint NTLM (self-hosted/on-premises), rclone WebDAV server, or Other
WebDAV URL✅e.g. https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/user
Base Path✅Folder path within the share, e.g. documents/wiki
Username✅For NTLM, use DOMAIN\username format
Password✅Password or app password, depending on the provider

Click Connect to create the source and start the first sync.

WebDAV runs as a Cloud data source; it needs no Outpost of your own, and this source type is not available for on-premise Outpost deployments.

Use an app password where possible

Nextcloud, ownCloud, and most other providers let you generate a separate app password for WebDAV access in their security settings — it can be revoked independently of your account password.

Synchronization

  • meinGPT connects to the WebDAV endpoint and syncs files below the base path.
  • Later runs only process changed files.
