Powerful API Connections for Seamless File Management

Behind the Scenes

The n8n Nextcloud integration establishes secure API connections to your Nextcloud server, enabling comprehensive access to files, folders, and sharing capabilities:

  • Authentication: Secure OAuth2 or API key connections protect access
  • File Operations: Upload, download, move, copy, and delete files programmatically
  • Folder Management: Create, modify, and organize folder structures automatically
  • User Permissions: Manage file sharing with granular permission controls
  • Metadata: Read and write file properties for advanced organization

These capabilities can be combined with n8n's 400+ other integrations to create powerful workflows that connect Nextcloud with your CRM, document processing systems, communication tools, and more - all while keeping your data within your secure infrastructure.
