[gentoo-user] Is there a way to sync with next/owncloud without using the next/owncloud-client?

[hitachi303]

Hi,

I am running without qt5. In my eyes it takes for ever to compile and 
mostly I am fine without it, so loosing vlc is hard - well mplayer remains.

I was wondering if there is a way to sync to nextcloud / owncloud 
(idealy to selected folders) without using qt5. The clients do have it 
as dependency. I would even be fine without a gui. Command line would be 
enough.
I know I can up- and download using firefox or any other browser but 
this is not what I am looking for.

Sincerely

You can certainly upload by mounting the nextcloud  data directory
using davfs, but when you upload something, you may need to change the
ownership of  the files.  I don't know a way to share a link to a file
except by the gui.

There is a command line client, nextcloudcmd, installed with the
nextcloud-client package. It may be worth having a look at the source
readmes to see if you can compile this separately.
