Nextcloud Android is the official mobile client for synchronizing files and folders with a self-hosted Nextcloud server. It uses the WebDAV protocol and Android WorkManager to keep local and remote copies identical, supporting background sync, metadata caching, and multi-account management.
The app enables remote file management directly from an Android device, including browsing, uploading, deleting, and organizing files. It provides secure offline access to cached content, generates share links for files and folders, and integrates with Android’s share intent system. Authentication tokens and sync states are managed independently per account, and a local SQLite cache allows offline browsing and incremental synchronisation.
