SailSync ownCloud
SailSync ownCloud is an application for synchronising files between your SailfishOS mobile device, and your ownCloud (or NextCloud) server instance.
Important
aarch64 beta release
As of mid-June 2021 I'm providing aarch64 builds of the application. Thanks to the users who tested. If you encounter issues, please contact me.
Login issues
SailSync ownCloud 0.8.4+ implements a more robust method to validate authentication. Prior to this version (0.8.0 - 0.8.3) a few users reported login issues. If you still exeperience issues with 0.8.4 (and later releases), please get in contact with me via my email. My email address can be found on the right-hand side of the SailSync ownCloud project website. Thank you.
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.
