How to Upload Data Into Nextcloud

To upload your data into Nextcloud you can rely on three different ways:

1. From the browser interface
2. From Coding
3. By using a file manager that supports WebDAV

Upload Data From The Browser Interface

You can easily upload your material from the Nextcloud browser interaface by clicking on "New" and "Upload files" or "Upload folders":

It is recommended to not upload files bigger than 10 GB within the same request. 

Upload Data From Coding

Users who are members of a Nextcloud group will see the corresponding folder displayed in the Jupyter file manager on the left-hand side of the screen. You can manage that folder just like any other folder you have: to upload files, simply drag them into it or use the “Upload” button. You can move or delete your files and folders directly from Coding.

Upload Data By Using a File Manager

To upload large files/folders into Nextcloud, it is recommended to rely on file managers like WinSCP. In fact, these tools often allow for background uploads and ensure that you won’t have to start all over again if there is a connection problem.

The WebDAV connection option is required for the tool to connect to Nextcloud correctly.

The following example uses WinSCP.

In the ‘Username’ and ‘Password’ fields, enter your EO account username and the Nextcloud app password respectively. Finally, go to 'Advanced Site Settings' and 'Directory', as shown below, and enter the same path as shown in the image below, replacing YOUR_USERNAME with your actual username.
