Accessing files with KDE and Dolphin file manager
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To access your Nextcloud files using the Dolphin file manager in KDE, use
the ``webdav://`` protocol::

webdav://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/

You can create a permanent link to your Nextcloud server:

#. Open Dolphin and click "Network" in the left-hand "Places" column.
#. Click on the icon labeled **Add a Network Folder**.
The resulting dialog should appear with WebDAV already selected.
#. If WebDAV is not selected, select it.
#. Click **Next**.
#. Enter the following settings:

* Name: the name you want to see in the **Places** bookmark, for example, Nextcloud.

* User: the Nextcloud username you used to log in, for example, admin.

* Server: the Nextcloud domain name, for example, **example.com** (without
**http://** before or directories afterwards).
* Folder -- Enter the path ``nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/``.
#. (Optional) Check the "Create icon" checkbox for a bookmark to appear in the
Places column.
#. (Optional) Provide any special settings or an SSL certificate in the "Port &
Encrypted" checkbox.
#. Navigate to System Settings -> Networking -> Online Accounts
#. Click "Add Account..."
#. Click Nextcloud
#. Enter your server address
#. Follow the on-screen instructions to log in
#. After logging in, ensure you enable "Storage" in the "Use This Account For" section
#. You can now access your files in Dolphin under "Network" in the sidebar
#. (Optional) To add this as a shortcut in the sidebar, right click "Nextcloud Storage" then "Add to Places"
#. (Optional) To customise the shortcut, right click the shortcut in the sidebar then "Edit..." and customise the icon and label as you please
