Hi,  
I'm trying to sync Joplin with Nextcloud in order to use as my main note editor and I'm stuck in the syncing process. My nextcloud server is located at ecloud.global, as I have it through my e.foundation account, which is the mobile OS I'm using. If I put the webdav URL just as it is indicated at nextcloud, it syncs well with the root folder, but once I cannot manage to sync with a subfolder (it is obviously not an option to keep all notes in the root server).  
My URL looks something like this:  
ecloud.global/remote.php/dav/files/USER  
If I just add the subfolder name after "/files/" it doesn't find the URL. My access path to the subfolder looks something like this:  
ecloud.global/apps/files/?dir=/test" (test is the subfolder)  
If I add "files/?dir=/test" to the webdav path it says it is ok while checking synchronization configuration, but when I try to sync it says:  
SyntaxError: Unexpected token T in JSON at position 0  
Any help will be appreciated. I really like Joplin and I would like to use it as my note editor. Thanks!  
Alberto

Some time back I had problems connecting to Nextcloud. I then found that using the "WebDAV" sync option in Joplin rather than "Nextcloud" worked...
