Using basic auth

To configure this credential, you'll need a Nextcloud (opens in a new tab) account and:

• Your WebDAV URL
• Your User name
• Your Password or an app password

To set it up:

1. To create your WebDAV URL: If Nextcloud is in the root of your domain: Enter the URL you use to access Nextcloud and add /remote.php/webdav/. For example, if you access Nextcloud at https://cloud.n8n.com, your WebDAV URL is https://cloud.n8n.com/remote.php/webdav.
   • If you have Nextcloud installed in a subdirectory, enter the URL you use to access Nextcloud and add /<subdirectory>/remote.php/webdav/. Replace <subdirectory> with the subdirectory Nextcloud's installed in.
   • Refer to Nextcloud's Third-party WebDAV clients (opens in a new tab) documentation for more information on constructing your WebDAV URL.
2. Enter your User name.
3. For the Password, Nextcloud recommends using an app password rather than your user password. To create an app password:
   1. In the Nextcloud Web interface, select your avatar in the top right and select Personal settings.
   2. In the left menu, choose Security.
   3. Scroll to the bottom to the App Password section and create a new app password.
   4. Copy that app password and enter it in n8n as your Password.

Using OAuth2

To configure this credential, you'll need a Nextcloud (opens in a new tab) account and:

• An Authorization URL and Access Token URL: These depend on the URL you use to access Nextcloud.
• A Client ID: Generated once you add an OAuth2 client application in Administrator Security Settings.
• A Client Secret: Generated once you add an OAuth2 client application in Administrator Security Settings.
• A WebDAV URL: This depends on the URL you use to access Nextcloud.

To set it up:

1. In Nextcloud, open your Administrator Security Settings.
2. Find the Add client section under OAuth 2.0 clients.
3. Enter a Name for your client, like n8n integration.
4. Copy the OAuth Callback URL from n8n and enter it as the Redirection URI.
5. Then select Add in Nextcloud.
6. In n8n, update the Authorization URL to replace https://nextcloud.example.com with the URL you use to access Nextcloud. For example, if you access Nextcloud at https://cloud.n8n.com, the Authorization URL is https://cloud.n8n.com/apps/oauth2/authorize.
7. In n8n, update the Access Token URL to replace https://nextcloud.example.com with the URL you use to access Nextcloud. For example, if you access Nextcloud at https://cloud.n8n.com, the Access Token URL is https://cloud.n8n.com/apps/oauth2/api/v1/token.

8. Copy the Nextcloud Client Identifier for your OAuth2 client and enter it as the Client ID in n8n.
9. Copy the Nextcloud Secret and enter it as the Client Secret in n8n.
10. In n8n, to create your WebDAV URL: If Nextcloud is in the root of your domain, enter the URL you use to access Nextcloud and add /remote.php/webdav/. For example, if you access Nextcloud at https://cloud.n8n.com, your WebDAV URL is https://cloud.n8n.com/remote.php/webdav.
    • If you have Nextcloud installed in a subdirectory, enter the URL you use to access Nextcloud and add /<subdirectory>/remote.php/webdav/. Replace <subdirectory> with the subdirectory Nextcloud's installed in.
    • Refer to Nextcloud's Third-party WebDAV clients (opens in a new tab) documentation for more information on constructing your WebDAV URL.
