Syncing with other WebDAV-compatible Apps and Services

Under Settings > Services you can connect your PhotoPrism instance to other apps and services that can be accessed via WebDAV, e.g. other PhotoPrism instances, Nextcloud or ownCloud.

When syncing, your files will be uploaded or downloaded to/from another service, which requires additional storage space. If you want PhotoPrism to index files from another local application, e.g. Nextcloud, we recommend mounting its file storage directory as originals folder instead of synchronizing the files via WebDAV. This prevents unnecessary copies of your files from being created.
