Services

You can connect your PhotoPrism instance to other services with WebDAV support, such as other PhotoPrism instances, Nextcloud or ownCloud. This allows you to share or synchronize files between multiple services.

PhotoPrism can also expose its originals via WebDAV so that compatible clients on macOS, Windows, and mobile devices can connect directly. Learn more ›

These settings are not available when running in public mode because they are not safe to use without authentication.
