Please make it possible to connect and manage multiple client-server connection with all the desktop clients.
We cannot use Nextcloud as it brings up the issue that we have to connect to several different server endpoints.
Seafile implements this quiet nice in the desktop clients and mobile apps.
Do you think this is possible to add soon?
Thanks!
It is already possible to connect to multiple Nextcloud/Owncloud servers with the desktop client.
I currently have it connected to both work and private NextCloud servers without any issues.
A link to a guide would have been beneficial. I don’t see an obvious way to do this from the client’s options, nor disconnect it from the original server.
When having the Client config window open there is an “Account” button and there you can add or remove additional accounts. Below is a screenshot and shows my 2 accounts I have currently connected:
Here is also a link to the manual:
Thank you for the link and the screenshot. Sadly, I cannot reproduce that:
The link is dead, and my NC client does not have this button. I just upgraded to the newest version (on windows, NC client is 3.6.4), and there is still no account button.
Also, compared to your screenshot, I am missing the “activity” tab on top.
Okay, I just found out how things work in 2022 (Windows Desktop client 3.6.4):
The current NC client still has the old “settings” window as described above, but the account functionality has been moved to the new task-bar-pop-up-window.
There you need to click a small arrow next to cour profile picture, which then displays options to manage/add accounts.
I don’t have any of these buttons or functions in nextcloud-client 3.10.1 on Gentoo Linux
Even doc doesn’t show this button on Using the Synchronization Client — Nextcloud Client Manual 3.10.1 documentation
Did you find a solution? It seems I have the same issue on Fedora 38, Client 3.11.0 under X-Server. I’ve also created a bug in bugzilla for this.
The button is still not there in the Mac client version 3.13.
You can use the command line client to add user accounts as described in Advanced Usage — Nextcloud Client Manual 3.12.7 documentation
I ended up with something like
/Applications/Nextcloud.app/Contents/MacOS/Nextcloud ----userid "myuser" --apppassword "mypassword" --serverurl "https://myserver.mydomain.com"
Note that you must terminate a running client before above call. The client is a bit picky, especially when your server is using self-signed SSL certificate or plain HTTP. Also, I had to rename/delete the prefs directory as the CLI tool could not write or move it. The command line output will inform you on all its problems, though
Are you sure?
I’m not on macOS, so I can’t check, but the button should be in the main window, as shown on the screenshot here, the window on the right hand side.
To open the main window, try to (right) click on the icon in the notifications area in macOS, and then click on open main window (Terminology may be different in the English version, as I just translated it from the German version)
Ah, you’re right, it works now. Could swear it didn’t this morning, before upgrading from 3.12. So it’s official: multi-server sync has UI support on Mac as well 
I don’t have the button on Kubuntu 24.10.
Have you tried clicking on the Nextcloud icon in the systray and then on “Open main dialog” as shown >> here << ? This should open >> this <<, where you can click on your avatar and then on “+ Add Account”.
Alternatively, the main dialog should also appear when starting Nextcloud from the icon in the Plasma application launcher (the start menu).
