Mobile and Desktop Clients
Sync and collaborate on your desktop or laptop
You can connect to your PracticalDrive cloud storage using the free NextCloud desktop clients for Windows, Mac, and Linux. With these, you can keep one or more folders of your photos, videos, and documents synchronized with your cloud storage. Any file you add, modify, or delete in the synced folders on your desktop or laptop will show up, change or disappear on the server and all other connected devices. Thanks to the client software, you can work with your files even when you are not online!
The file manager integration means you can see what files are synchronized and easily share them directly with other users on your server or using a public link.
The desktop client will notify you when something happens on PracticalDrive storage, for example, if you receive a new share. You can also see a history of what happened with your files in the Activity overview.
