Files not working (or am I missing something?)

[tarkhil]

I'm running owncloud 10.9.1.2.

/ocs/v1.php/cloud/capabilities?format=json shows "webdav-root":"remote.php/webdav", but "remote.php/dav" is hardcoded into client, so I'm listing something instead of my files.

Is it my installation obsolete, or owncloud-sdk 3.0.0-alpha.17 is obsolete, or am I completely missing something essential?

Hey @tarkhil - are webdav operations via owncloud sdk actually not working or is it just the fact that the sdk uses remote.php/dav instead of remote.php/webdav?

The difference between the two endpoints is that

1. remote.php/webdav implicitly serves files from the home of the authenticated user while
2. remote.php/dav explicitly requires the username in the endpoint, e.g. remote.php/dav/files/admin.

Version 2 of the ownCloud sdk discontinued (1), see https://github.com/owncloud/owncloud-sdk/blob/master/changelog/2.0.0_2022-02-08/change-remove-webdav-v1-support

But as far as I know any ownCloud 10 supports both (1) and (2), so it should not be an issue, but instead only a client decision. Please let me know if something is broken!

DAV as DAV protocol works just fine. It shows something completely unrelated to my files, so as Owncloud client it does not work. I'd love to have some switch to use different endpoints, and in general webdav gives more expectable results. At least for me.

Well, using dav/files/username I've got exactly what I've got with webdav. At least now I know. It should be switchable anyway.

We're planning that you can specify the absolute url of the respective endpoint on every operation. Reason for that is that with ownCloud Infinite Scale we plan that you can have access to distributed storage spaces. Maintaining that only seems to be feasible if the respective webdav endpoint is not constructed within the sdk, but instead just provided by the consuming application. With that you'll be able to use the remote.php/webdav endpoint again - but to be honest, that's still quite the way to go...
