This guide provides instructions for connecting your Supernote to your self-hosted Nextcloud server via the WebDAV protocol using the new ServerLink app.

Setting Up Secure Credentials

Nextcloud recommends using an App Password for third-party apps instead of your main account password. This is the safest way to log in and supports features like 2FA, allows for revocation at any time, and ensures a stable connection.

1. Log in to your Nextcloud web interface.
2. Click your profile icon (top right) > Personal Settings.
3. Select Security on the left sidebar.
4. Create a new password in the "App passwords" section.

ServerLink Connection Steps

Launch the ServerLink app on your Supernote and follow these steps to fill in the required fields accurately.

1. Select the Access Protocol (http/https)

In the address field, you must choose the protocol used for WebDAV access.

• HTTPS (Recommended): This is the default for most Nextcloud servers. Encrypts data transfer, providing a much more secure connection.
• HTTP: Used for servers not configured with SSL/TLS (unencrypted) or for internal network environments.

The protocol you select directly affects the final connection address, for example: https://cloud.example.com

2. Enter the Host (Server Address)

You should enter only the server address, without any paths included. This includes:

• Domain Name:
  nextcloud.example.com
  cloud.mydomain.com
• OR IP Address: 
  192.168.1.20

Do not include paths like /remote.php/... in the Host field

If you mistakenly enter a path, the app will attempt to automatically correct it, but we strongly recommend following the standard format.

3. Enter the Port

In most cases, this field can be left blank, as the system will automatically use the standard default ports:

• HTTPS → 443
• HTTP → 80

You only need to enter a value here if your server is using a custom port, for example: 5005, 8080, or 12000.

4. Enter the Path (WebDAV Path)

The Path field must contain the specific WebDAV service path for Nextcloud. The standard format is:

/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/

If your Nextcloud installation is located in a subdirectory (e.g., /nextcloud/), the path must be:

/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/

You can find your specific path information in the Nextcloud web interface under Settings > WebDAV (usually located in the bottom-left corner).

5. Enter the Username and Password

For the username, use your Nextcloud account username. For the password, use the App Password you created, not your main account password.

Here's a Complete Example for Your Reference

Assuming your Nextcloud address is https://nextcloud.example.com/ and your username is lex, you would fill in the fields as follows:
