Nextcloud integration for users

With the Nextcloud integration, you can send a file from Nextcloud Files directly to SimpleDMS.

Prerequisites

  • Your admin has installed and enabled the Nextcloud integration app.
  • Your admin has configured the SimpleDMS base URL in Nextcloud.

How it works

  1. In Nextcloud Files, right-click a file and select Upload to SimpleDMS.
  2. Nextcloud creates a signed one-time download URL for that file.
  3. SimpleDMS opens in a new browser tab with GET /open-file/from-url?url=....
  4. Confirm the URL in SimpleDMS.
  5. SimpleDMS fetches the file and continues with the normal space selection and open-file flow.

Notes

  • The signed URL can only be used once and expires after a short time.
  • If the upload fails, ask your admin to check the integration settings and network reachability.
