To log in, follow these steps:

1. Enter the server name (e.g.,https://domainname) or the WebDAV URL (e.g.,https://domainname/remote.php/dav/files/UUID). You can find the WebDAV URL in the Files app under settings.

2. Provide your username and password. If you have 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) enabled, you need to set up an App-specific password. You can learn more about this processhere.

After logging in, you'll be prompted to select a location to save the Nextcloud files.

• To download a file, simply click on it.

• To sync a folder, click on it until a menu appears. Then, select "sync" from the menu. The folder sync feature will only synchronize files that are "newer" on the server side, ignoring.sdr files.

Currently there are multiple methods to build the application. It is recommended to use the Dockerimage.

The easiest way to build applications as of now to use the Dockerimage. (https://github.com/JuanJakobo/Pocketbook-dev-docker)

First you need to install conan and the basic build tools for linux.

Then you have to download the Pocketbook SDK (https://github.com/pocketbook/SDK_6.3.0/tree/5.19).

In the CMakeLists.txt of this project you have to set the root of the TOOLCHAIN_PATH to the location where you saved the SDK.

First you have to create the default profile by:conan profile detectFurthmore you have to add an conan profile for pocketbook to the profiles directory:

[settings]arch=armv7build_type=Releasecompiler=clangcompiler.cppstd=gnu17compiler.version=7.0os=Linux[buildenv]CXX=arm-obreey-linux-gnueabi-clang++CC=arm-obreey-linux-gnueabi-clangLD=arm-obreey-linux-gnueabi-ldSTRIP=arm-obreey-linux-gnueabi-stripAR=arm-obreey-linux-gnueabi-arAS=arm-obreey-linux-gnueabi-asNM=arm-obreey-linux-gnueabi-nmRANLIB=arm-obreey-linux-gnueabi-ranlib

On the first run you have to setup conan by:

conan install . --build=missing -pr=pocketbook

cmake --preset conan-release

After this to rebuild the application you have to run:

cmake --build build/Release

Use as your own risk!Even though the possibility is really low, the application could harm your device or even break it.
