SailSync ownCloud is an application for synchronising files between your SailfishOS mobile device, and your ownCloud (or NextCloud) server instance.

Important

Nextcloud 31+ issues (2025/04/23)

Nextcloud 31 server requires a minimum client version of 2.7.0. Sailsync ownCloud currently ships with owncloudcmd 2.5.2. owncloudcmd 2.7.0 has a build dependency on Qt 5.12 (SailfishOS currently ships Qt 5.6).

One workaround is to install (via Chum) nephros's Nextcloud client (built against Qt 5.15), and then override the Sailsync ownCloud command paths (and disable Sailjail).

Sync Issues with email address usernames

It appears that the official ownCloud commandline client may have issues syncing if you authenticate with an email address. If possible, try authenticating with a regular username instead of an email address.

Features

  • Uses official ownCloud application (owncloudcmd) to synchronise files
  • Directory-level granularity over which local directories and remote ownCloud directories you wish to synchronise
  • Manually trigger a synchronisation between a local and remote directory
  • Manually trigger synchronisation of all configured sets of local and remote directories

Tested with NextCloud server v13-v19

Sync bug in SailfishOS 4.4.0 (2022/04/22)

Users have reported having issues accessing syncing via the UI since upgrading to SailfishOS 4.4.0.

An update is coming that resolves the issue, in the mean time you can choose to disable sandboxing:

Modify
/usr/share/applications/harbour-io.edin.projects.sailsync-owncloud.desktop
(you'll need to do this as root).

adding this to the bottom of the file:

[X-Sailjail]
Sandboxing=Disabled

Save, exit, then restart the application.
