If you'd like to keep a local directory in sync with a bewCloud instance, these are the recommended commands. They rely onrclone, which relies onrsync.

Usernames, passwords, and sync are all handled byrclone. The connection to a bewCloud instance happens via HTTP and a remote via WebDav is created inrclone.

If you're looking for the mobile app, it's atbewcloud-mobile.

1. Installrclone from theofficial website.
2. Setup your bewCloud remote:rclone config create "bewcloud" webdav vendor=fastmail and provide your bewCloud DAV URL, username/email, and DAV password.
3. Create your local "root directory" to sync (optional, but recommended):mkdir -p /home/user/bewcloud
4. Per remote directory you want to sync, run the first sync:rclone bisync -vc "bewcloud:/<remote-directory>/" "/home/user/bewcloud/<local-directory>" --resync

Assuming you want to run the sync every hour, you can use the following cron job, per directory:0 * * * * rclone bisync -vc "bewcloud:/<remote-directory>/" "/home/user/bewcloud/<local-directory>"

Alternatively, if you'd like to run the sync ad-hoc and keep some log to track things, you can create a file likesync-bewcloud.sh with all the directories you want to sync:

#!/bin/shrclone bisync -vc"bewcloud:/<remote-directory-1>/""/home/user/bewcloud/<local-directory-1>"rclone bisync -vc"bewcloud:/<remote-directory-2>/""/home/user/bewcloud/<local-directory-2>"

And then your crontab can be0 * * * * /home/user/sync-bewcloud.sh > /home/user/sync-bewcloud.log 2>&1

And you can simply run./sync-bewcloud.sh to sync the directories and check the output.

To uninstall/remove these sync scripts, you can delete therclone config file for bewcloud (rclone config delete bewcloud), and remove the crons.

You should only have to follow the sync/cron section above.

You should also remove the app. If it's not deleted, you can delete the<AppDataDir>/config.json file, which isn't necessary or used byrclone.

I'm sorry, but there's not enough incentive for me to keep maintaining a native desktop app. I've heard great things aboutPhotoSync, though I haven't used it myself. Any WebDav client should work, and if it doesn't, feel free to open an issue atbewcloud/bewcloud.
