ownCloud Synchronization

ClawIO implements the OSP (ownCloud Synchronisation Protocol) in its OCWebDAV API.

The OSP requires special logic when handling data and metadata operations, and for such reason, it is required to use specialized data and metadata controllers. These controllers start with the prefix oc, and the only current implemntation is the "ocsql" data and metadata controllers, that use a MySQL/MariaDB database to handle the semantics of the protocol.

Enabling the OCWebDAV API

In the configuration file add the ocwebdav API to the list of enabled services.

{
  "server": {
    "enabled_services": [
      "authentication",
      "metadata",
      "data",
      "webdav",
      "ocwebdav"
    ],
  }
}

You also need to use a data and metadata controller which name starts with oc, otherwise ownCloud clients will not being able to connect. Refer to the Storage Section to learn how to configure the data and metadata controller.

Once you have everything setup you should being able to connect with the ownCloud Desktop clients.
