Questions about Nextcloud.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Yes, it is designed for anyone running a self-hosted Nextcloud instance who wants a faster way to manage their data.
Can I use this to share files with clients?
Absolutely. You can ask your agent to create public or private links for specific folders or files instantly.
How do I keep my account secure?
The Connector works with app passwords. You can use get_app_password to create a unique key for your AI agent so you do not have to share your main login.

Use the create_share capability. Provide the path to your folder and set shareType to 3 (Public Link). You can also optionally set a password for added security.
Can I change my online status message using the AI?
Yes! You can use set_user_status to change your availability (e.g., 'dnd', 'away') and set_user_status_message to set a custom text and emoji icon.
