sure, you can create a new /e/ account in settings/accounts and using your own credentials and server IP. No problem, I’m hosting my own NC and using it in the same way.
Hey, I just got my Fairphone 3, on which I naturally installed /e/ OS.
Unfortunately, Apps fails to install Nextcloud application.
I tried to add an /e/ account with my own Nextcloud credentials, like you advised, and it is working, BUT I don’t have files synchronization … In my previous phone (/e/ os refurbished Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge), I could access my Nextcloud files from Files application (and anything accessing devices).
How can I get this access?
It is somehow counter-productive having to multiple installation sources … don’t you think?
For basic usage (we are just speaking about just accessing files on Nextcloud instance), it would be perfect to have everything in the /e/ Apps.
