For synchronising files with your desktop computer, we recommend using the Nextcloud Sync Client for Windows, macOS and Linux.
The Nextcloud Desktop Sync Client enables you to connect to your Nextcloud Server. You can create folders in your home directory, and keep the contents of those folders synced with your Nextcloud server. Simply copy a file into the directory and the Nextcloud desktop client does the rest. Make a change to the files on one computer, it will flow across the others using these desktop sync clients. You will always have your latest files with you wherever you are.
Its usage is documented separately in the Nextcloud Desktop Client Manual.
Once dowloaded, you will need to enter the Server Address: https://cloud.alr-network.co.uk
Installation Wizard
The installation wizard takes you step-by-step through configuration options and account setup. First you need to enter the URL of your Nextcloud server.
Enter your Nextcloud login on the next screen.
On the Local Folder Option screen you may sync all of your files on the Nextcloud server, or select individual folders. The default local sync folder is Nextcloud
, in your home directory. You may change this as well.
When you have completed selecting your sync folders, click the Connect button at the bottom right. The client will attempt to connect to your Nextcloud server, and when it is successful you’ll see two buttons: one to connect to your Nextcloud Web GUI, and one to open your local folder. It will also start synchronizing your files.
Click the Finish button, and you’re all done.
