# Nextcloud

ExpanDrive connects to Nextcloud, a fork of Owncloud, so you can manage files on your Nextcloud instance.

## Connection Parameters

### Server

The base URL of the Nextcloud installation. This is a domain name, subdomain, or IP address, followed by the path where Nextcloud is installed. The path is typically `/nextcloud`, or the root of the server when Nextcloud is the only application running. For example, `https://example.com/nextcloud` or `https://cloud.example.com`.

### Username

The username assigned for your access to the server.

### Password

Your password is saved [securely](/security.md#authentication) in the macOS Keychain or the Windows credentials vault.

### Nickname

The nickname identifies this connection on your machine. This name is used as the volume label on the mounted drive.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.expandrive.com/integrations/nextcloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
