### Sync target

Nextcloud

### What issue do you have?

I have just set up Nextcloud on a Cpanel and want to sync various clients starting with a Mac.

I am getting a sync error and I hope someone can help me understand the error and point me in the right direction.

I suspect the issue is the WebDAV URL

I set up Nextcloud on its own subdomain and this is the URL I supplied:  
XXXX ://nextcloud.(TLD)/remote.php/webdav/joplin

I suspect I have not created the joplin directory in the correct place. I went to files menu option on the nextcloud server and added it there:

XXXX ://nextcloud.(TLD)/index.php/apps/files/

Just confirmed that, saw a button "Check synchronisation configuration"  
and

Error. Please check that URL, username, password, etc. are correct and that the sync target is accessible. The reported error was:  
WebDAV directory not found: XXXX ://nextcloud(TLD).net/remote.php/webdav/joplin

Screenshots of the sync error and where it was created in the file system. I have looked around for where I should go.

I have also created a joplin directory in the nextcloud root  
and when that did not work I tried creating /webdav/joplin in the nextcloud root

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Maybe it's just about the capitalization. Could you try with `Joplin` at the URL and the folder?

Another guess is that the username is missing at your path. For me `https://<IP>/remote.php/dav/files/<user>/Joplin` works.
