Hi

I’m also having problems with sync from Joplin to Nextcloud!

Im running the last version of Joplin 1.0.201 (Linux Mint 19)

And running last version of NextCLoud **18.0.4**

I have downloaded the “Joplin Web API” version 0.0.25 and installed / activated in nextcloud.

I have creted a folder in the root of the files called Joplin

![cloud](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/cozic/original/2X/d/d019de680d1a32cc9b7b1ff509575e35e429d4b7.png)

Here is my settings from Joplin!

Any help will be good.

Kind regards

Taxick

Looking at the code it seems Joplin expects your WebDAV URL to contain `/remote.php/webdav`:

Hi @roman_r_m

Thanks for your answer 🙂

I have changed the URL: [https://MY-URL/remote.php/webdav/files/Taxick/Joplin](https://MY-URL/remote.php/webdav/files/Taxick/Joplin)

And now will it not accept my username and password...

I misread your issue and was giving bad advice that wouldn’t be useful, so redacted it. I jump in too quick at times. Ha

I believe that if you have `webdav` in your Nextcloud URL you do not need your username. Try:

`https://MY-URL/remote.php/webdav/files/Joplin`

I think that we have to fix the Nextcloud web dav URL stuff at one point. A lot of people reported that they actually cannot use the Nextcloud sync target with Nextcloud.

Hi 🙂

Thanks for all your answer 🙂

I have found a solution to my problem. 🙂

Instead of using " **Nextcloud**" in Joplin sync settings, I used " **WebDav**"

In the URL: I used this: [https://my-site.dk/remote.php/dav/files/](https://my-site.dk/remote.php/dav/files/) **MY-NEXTCLOUD- USERNAME** /Joplin

And logged in with my username and password from Nextcloud!

Rember to create a folder in nextcloud called Joplin

And now it works.

@Taxick, even though you solved your issue by switching to WebDAV, I propose a [possible alternative](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/3004#issuecomment-629799367) solution for others that involves filesystem syncing, too.
