# Nextcloud

A Nextcloud storage is a specialized [WebDAV](/link/964) storage, with optimizations for Nextcloud-Nextcloud communication. See the [WebDAV](/link/964) documentation to learn how to configure a Nextcloud external storage.

When filling in the **URL** field, use the path to the root of the Nextcloud installation, rather than the path to the WebDAV endpoint. So, for a server at `https://example.com/nextcloud`, use `https://example.com/nextcloud` and not `https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav`.

See [External Storage](/link/956) for additional mount options and information.

See [External Storage authentication mechanisms](/link/965) for more information on authentication schemes.
