Sync Settings¶
This page describes how PhotoPrism can sync files from an external storage system (like ownCloud) via WebDAV.
PhotoPrism can also serve/share files via WebDAV to be browsed on macOS or Windows. See instructions.
Connect to a WebDAV Server¶
PhotoPrism may connect with WebDAV servers like a second PhotoPrism instance or ownCloud, so that you can automatically sync your latest pictures.
To connect:
- Go to Settings
- Open Sync tab
- Click Add Server
- Fill in your WebDAV server url, username and password
- Click connect
- Now the other WebDAV server is connected with PhotoPrism
Manually Upload Files to a WebDAV Server¶
To configure manual upload:
- Go to Settings
- Open Sync tab
- Click into the upload cell of your server
4. Select the folder to which photos should be uploaded and click save
To upload files from PhotoPrism to the WebDAV server:
- Go to Search
- Select photos you want to upload
- Open the context menu
- Click
- Select your server account and click upload
Due to problems with some Nextcloud settings it might be that uploading to Nextcloud results in 0 byte files. You find information on how to solve it here.
Automatically Upload/Download Files to/from a WebDAV Server¶
- Go to Settings
- Open Sync tab
- Click into the sync cell of your server
- Enable synchronization in the upper right corner
