# Can I connect a WebDAV or Nextcloud server?

WebDAV isn't one of the account types you can add right now. Two routes work instead: mount the server in Finder with **Go → Connect to Server** and add the mounted folder as a **Local folder** account, or — if your server also offers SFTP — add it as an SFTP account.

Nextcloud's own Mac app also keeps a synced folder in Finder, which you can add as a Local folder account. SFTP is the most dependable for scheduled transfers, since it doesn't depend on a share staying mounted.
