What is your use case?

1. You would like to access files from website via Nextcloud to be able to change them?  
Then add volume as you wish e.g.

```yaml
volumes:
    # Format:
    # - /Local/Machine/folder:/container/folder
    - /var/www/html:/nextcloud/myWebSite

```

After this, via nextcloud Settings → External Storages add `/nextcloud/myWebSite` as external local storage and that’s it.

1. You would like to save and manage files in Nextcloud and give an access to content (e.g. pictures) via links to your website?

For Webdav you need to have user/password, **but** you can simply share folder and then access files via link, e.g.:

> 
> if file under subfolder of shared folder then:

> curl https://domain/index.php/s/SHARE_ID/download?path=/Some/Sub/Folder?files=fileName.exe
> 
> ```
