Accessing Nextcloud from Synology using Rclone

Hello folks,

I want to access my Nextcloud environment from my Synology via WebDAV using Rclone.
I installed Rclone on my Synology NAS using the installation script.
I generated an App-Password for the user in Nextcloud.
Afterwards, I configured Rclone according to the instructions and also use the App-Password in Rclone.

To test my connection using rclone ls REMOTE: -vv the following error message will be displayed:

2026/06/21 15:23:37 DEBUG : rclone: Version “v1.74.3” starting with parameters [“rclone” “ls” “REMOTE:” “-vv”]
2026/06/21 15:23:37 DEBUG : Creating backend with remote “REMOTE:”

2026/06/21 15:23:37 NOTICE: Failed to ls with 2 errors: last error was: directory not found

Access via WebDAV from my Mac works fine.
Also works using external tools like Cyberduck.

Versions:
Nextcloud: 33.0.2
Synology RS820 DSM 7.3.2-86009 Update 3
Rclone: v1.74.3

Rclone Config:
[REMOTE]
type = webdav
url = https://URL/remote.php/dav/files/USER/
vendor = nextcloud
user = USER
pass = ******

Can you support me?
Many thanks and best regards,
Volker.

this looks different on my setup:

[MYCLOUD]
type = webdav
url = https://cloud.domain.tld/remote.php/webdav/
vendor = nextcloud
user = USER
pass = ***********
