CD – File Synchronization

  WEDOS Cloud Disk

In this article, you will learn:

Synchronizing Files and Folders

File and folder synchronization ensures that any change to selected files or folders on a device (computer, phone, …) is immediately and automatically reflected on a copy of the file in the WEDOS CD cloud storage, and vice versa.

Warning! If you delete a synchronized file from one device, the CD will delete it from all synchronized folders!

This tutorial assumes you have the NextCloud app downloaded and installed. This is a third-party application that we do not support except when connected to the WEDOS CD service. See the NextCloud documentation for more information.

  1. Open the NextCloud app.
  2. In the Add NextCloud Account window, choose Login.
  3. In the Server address filed, type https://cd.wedos.com and click Next.
  4. In the opened browser window, click Log In and log into your account.

Syncing Files via NextCloud

Once the NextCloud application is successfully connected to your WEDOS CD, you can set which folders and files you want to synchronize. Select sync options from:

  • Server – You can synchronize everything from the server or select specific folders to be synchronized with your PC.
  • Local folders – Select which folder on your PC will be synchronized with WEDOS CD. 

If the local folder is not empty, specify whether you want to delete or keep the current files.

Finally, click the Link button.

Connect via WebDAV

You can connect any app that supports WebDAV technology to the WEDOS CD.

First, find your WebDAV URL by following these steps:

  1. Log into the WEDOS CD web interface.
  2. In the left menu, select Files settings.
  3. In the pop-up window, click WebDAV.
  4. Copy the WebDAV URL.

Next, obtain the unique username and password to connect third-party applications via WebDAV.

Avoid connecting third-party apps with WEDOS ID username and password!

Follow these steps:

  1. In the upper right corner, click your user icon and select Settings.
  2. In the left menu, select Security.
  3. In the Devices & sessions section, type the app’s name and click Create new app password…
  4. Enter the displayed information in the app.

Keep in mind, that:

  • The generated name and password cannot be changed. You can only Revoke it and create a new one.
  • Avoid the Wipe device option. It can cause login issues.
