Sync files with public link share on nextcloud does not work

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm trying to follow this how to guide : Sync files with public link share on nextcloud.
so I have a public share link
https://example.com/s/7bqWt4fWXbwkzKz

But I can't sync the way as it is shown in the how to.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.63.1
- os/version: ubuntu 20.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.15.90.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.20.6
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Nextcloud

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone sync --webdav-url=https://example.com/public.php/webdav --webdav-user=7bqWt4fWXbwkzKz --webdav-vendor=nextcloud :webdav: . -n
2023/08/15 17:15:21 Failed to create file system for ":webdav:": the remote url looks incorrect. Note that nextcloud chunked uploads require you to use the /dav/files/USER endpoint instead of /webdav. Please check 'rclone config show remotename' to verify that the url field ends in /dav/files/USERNAME

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you try switching out the URL per the recommendation there?

I did then I get
Attempt 3/3 failed with 1 errors and: directory not found

I followed the how to - that is the URL like it is in the howto - and also like it is documented in the nextcloud manual (see the link in the how to).
I'm also able to mount it as a drive in windows using this URL and the user.

Ok now I checked the release notes -
in 1.63.0
nextcloud: Add support for chunked uploads
and 1.63.1
Nextcloud: fix must use /dav/files/USER endpoint not /webdav error

So I tried with 1.62.2 - and it worked !

Thanks

It's fixed in the latest beta if you want to try that.
