Findmydevice - helping to get a sound alternative to google

🍱 Features & apps App ideas

In F-Droid, there is an APP called findmydevice, which aims at replacing Google location services but find ones device if lost. In the past, the only possibility was to trigger the phone via SMS. Now, there is a possibilty to communicate to the mobile via server.

I don’t know, if that’s a realistic, but I guess it would be a really good idea to have a nextcloud APP as server vor this purpose! What do you mean, is it possible?

Great idea! I think it’s very much possible. The associated server code is open source as well and should be rather easy to port to nextcloud: https://gitlab.com/Nulide/findmydeviceserver/-/blob/master/src/fmdserver.go#L470

That doesn’t necessarily mean that someone has the time to do it and maintain the code, though.
