Please provide the fstab entry you tried.

I don’t know for sure for ubuntu snap, but I know that for other dists you can but not need to set up with UUID.

You do not need to use UUID exclusively. Sounds like a typo based on the limited info there.

Secret

mysite.pw/remote.php/dav/files/me/ me mepassword

Fstab

mysite.pw/remote.php/dav/files/me/ /home/me/CloudStorage/DavFSNextcloud
#davfs user,rw,noauto 0 0

mount ~/CloudStorage/DavFSNextcloud
mount: can’t find /home/me/CloudStorage/DavFSNextcloud in /etc/fstab

These are what I do. :slight_smile:
