Nextcloud Client
Yes, that is possible. Nextcloud supports the so-called WebDAV protocol. This allows you to synchronize the cloud folders with local folders on your PC so that they are always identical. When someone uploads a new file to the cloud folder, it is automatically downloaded to your PC, and when you drag a file to your local folder, it is automatically uploaded to the cloud folder. This also works with smartphones and tablets through mobile apps.
- Install the Nextcloud client for your operating system: https://nextcloud.com/install/#install-clients
- Enter “nextcloud.wechange.de” as the server address.
- Confirm access in the browser window. You may have to enter your login details for wechange.de.
- Switch back to the desktop client and select which folders you want to synchronize.

Other WebDAV clients
You can also connect to Nextcloud using another WebDAV client. To do this, you first need to create an app password in Nextcloud. To do this, first navigate to https://nextcloud.wechange.de - click on your profile picture in the top right and then on Settings in the menu. Then click on Security in the menu on the left.
There you can create a new app password under Devices and Sessions by first entering a name for the application (e.g. WebDAV) and then clicking on create.
Once created, you will see your own username, which you must use to log in, and your password. It is best to save it in a password manager or in a location of your choice.
Now you only need the address you want to connect to. To do this, navigate to the Files app in Nextcloud and click on Settings at the bottom left. Your WebDAV address will then be displayed there.
Then open the WebDAV client of your choice (in macOS, for example, the Finder and then in the menu at the top under “Go > Connect to Server”) and enter your data there.
Address: https://nextcloud.wechange.de/remote.php/dav/files/wechange-deine-nutzer-ID>/
Username: wechange-your-user-ID
Password: The password you created as described above
Now you will find a new drive nextcloud.wechange.de
