# 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.
