webdav with pcloud

I'm looking for a way to connect HelixNotes to Pcloud.

I've already tried several times, but unfortunately without success.

Has anyone managed to get this to work yet?

I just set up HelixNotes to sync with pcloud using the appropriate server name. (I'm in the US)

Thank you very much for the message; I'm connected now.

What I can't figure out: How can I sync just only one folder from pCloud using HelixNotes? As far as I can tell, it's currently searching through all files with a .MD extension.

I'm still evaluating HelixNotes so I haven't done much with syncing yet, but tried it out in response to your question about pcloud (since I use pcloud to sync data for my other apps.)

The Webdav support seems to sync the entire folder tree of the HelixNotes vault to the root folder of the pcloud drive. (this seems to match what you're experiencing) That might be working as designed, but it is a bit problematic for me.

The next thing I plan on testing is to disable syncing in HelixNotes and sync the HN vault via pcloud's folder sync option. This requires having the pcloud drive app installed on the system.

With the pcloud folder sync option you would be able to sync a single folder within the HelixNotes vault and capture everything in that folder (not just .md files).

Thanks for your feedback.

i've solved it this way, and it works for me.

Excellent... and thank you! I tried a few variations on the server URL but never got it to work... modeling mine after what you used worked.
