If your NextCloud is with an external provider, why not move it to your local DS and use that? I tried NextCloud hosted elsewhere and decided I want my data inside my network. If I’ve misunderstood I apologise, but what I’ve written below might help others searching for s Synology installation.
#Synology drive client install#
I’m not sure if I’ve understood what you’re trying to do - install NextCloud on your Synology NAS or just a client (I don’t understand the latter). If a Nextcloud client cannot be installed on a Synology, any other suggestion to overcome this long sync time is highly appreciated. The Nextcloud client is using any other mechanism to get aware of changes in the cloud within seconds. I guess WebDAV does not support any notification about changes (new files, updated files, deleted files) and therefore, it seems to me that CloudSync is continiously scanning the whole WebDAV file system of my cloud for changes, which takes such long. The point is, that CloudSync takes about 1…2 hours to get aware about any new file, as the connection is done via WebDAV. I’m having about 100.000 files in my Nextcloud (50GB) and I already tried Synology’s CloudSync to keep the local mirror always updated. Anyone here having experiences in this or any useful suggestion?īackground: Due to poor internet connectivity I try to mirror my Nextcloud instance, which is hosted at an internet provider, on my local Synology. I’m just trying to identify, weather it’s possible to install a Nextcloud client on a Synology or not.
