Hi, guys.
Just installed nextcloud on my providers’ server and wanted to start synching. What I need is to download files once they’re put on the server. If I delete them locally I still want them on the server.
On the server
- I filled in the “Folder name” box
- set “external storage” to “local”
- “Authentication” to “none” (as per my providers’ instructions)
- filled in the path in the “Configuration” box
- “Available for” “All users (etc)” (again as per my providers’ instructions)
- Checked “Enable previews” (was checked and figured it wouldn’t apply)
- Checked “Enable sharing”
- “Check for changes” set to “Once every direct access”
- Unchecked “Compatibility with Mac (etc)”
- Checked “Read only” (as I don’t want deletions client side to delete from the server)
On my client, I installed the latest client and authorized it.
- Picked the destination folder (on a mounted NAS share)
- Selected the remote share (called “Remote destination folder”, which is alarming as it’s the source in my setup)
- Didn’t select any folders not to synchronize
- Clicked “Add sync connection”
In the general settings, I’ve checked
- “Launch on system status”
- “Show Server Notification”
- “Show sync folders in Explorer’s Navigation Pane”
- the rest of the check boxes are blank
Now, first sync will synchronize the remote files, which is fine. However, if I add files on my remote server they will not sync onto my client. Also, if I delete files on my client they will be re-added with a message that I’m not allowed to delete them.
Could someone please help me out here? I would like it to sync automagically, and I’d like to be able to delete local files.
Thanks!
