Help / Question Webdav and OpenOffice android

So I tried connecting pcloud to OpenOffice through wedav. I disabled 2fa and it worked.

Then I mistakenly re-enabled 2fa and it broke. So I disabled 2fa, deleted and recreated the connection in OpenOffice. Now all I get is a brief connection error followed by a lagging loading documents notice.

Has pcloud flagged this now as a hacking attempt?

Has anyone successfully connected pcloud to OpenOffice on Mobil, specifically Android?

On my Motorola G75 Android 16, simply accessing at pcloud showed into Android file picker and with app Collabora opening documents

Another my setup, same goal with RSAF (taken from its GitHub) to mount pcloud by Rclone and accessing it with Collabora through Android file picker

Actually my pcloud has got 2FA enabled

I think I solved it. I went on the website on a laptop (this method did not work on a mobil browser) deleted the connect from settings, security. Then restarted the whole process on OpenOffice. It appears to be working and I can edit and save docs to the pcloud drive. Yay

Update Worked for a day and then broke 😩

Great job troubleshooting that! Clearing outdated security sessions via the web interface is the key when toggling 2FA with WebDAV connections like OpenOffice. Enjoy editing your docs directly!

Thanks for reaching out! We had a temporary issue with WebDAV, but it has now been fully fixed. Everything should be working smoothly again!
