Adding an OpenCloud account

If you have an OpenCloud account, you can add it to the Drive app. You can then work with the OpenCloud files just as with the files in your other storage accounts.

To sign in, you can use your OpenCloud password or an app token. You create an app token in the OpenCloud account settings.

Note: Depending on the configuration, OpenCloud may be displayed under a different name in the user interface.

How to add an OpenCloud account:

  1. Click on New. Click on Add storage account.

    You can also click the Settings icon in the menu bar. Click on Add storage account.

    The Add storage account window opens.

  2. Click the OpenCloud icon.

    The input fields for the OpenCloud account are displayed.

  3. Optional: Change the account name in Display name. By default, the name is OpenCloud. The account is displayed under this name in the folder tree.

  4. Enter the address of your OpenCloud instance in Your server address. Depending on the configuration, the address may already be filled in.

    Tip: Open OpenCloud in your browser. Copy the address of any page from the address bar and paste the address. The address is adjusted automatically.

  5. Enter your OpenCloud user name in Your user name.

  6. Enter your OpenCloud password or an app token in Your password / app token. To display your entry in readable form, click the Show password icon.

    If you want to use an app token and do not have one yet, click the link to the OpenCloud account settings below the input field. Under App tokens, create an app token and copy it.

  7. Click on Add.

Result: A separate section with the display name of the OpenCloud account appears in the folder tree.

Note: Your credentials are only transmitted via a secure connection.

Tip: If you use an app token, your OpenCloud password is not stored in the groupware. In addition, you can revoke the app token in OpenCloud at any time without changing your password.
