Description Bastián Díaz 2016-03-09 18:00:44 UTC

OwnCloud currently can be configured via webdav. Unfortunately it is unintuitive for the common user.

I suggest adding a new configuration dialog for Owncloud service would have greater benefits:

+ Increased visibility
+ Ease of configuration (ej. server/user/password options)
+ View the future

This last point refers to the federated system owncloud is popular and is working to support CMIS.  

A user typically seek a service, independent for connection technology background. Owncloud currently support WebDav but in the future it may be CMIS.
Add it as a service is advantageous.

Cheers

Sounds good -> NEW

Is there any update on this?

As ownCloud / NextCloud have become the standard for self-hosted cloud solutions, I think an integration for LibreOffice is absolutely necessary.
As Bastian has already mentioned the current configuration is quite convoluted (and difficult to find even for advanced users):

Host: example.com
Port: 443
Secure connection: [X]
Root: /remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/

The following dialog could drastically simplify the setup:

Nextcloud-Address: https://example.com
Username: USERNAME
Password: hunter-2
