How do I connect a WebDAV, Nextcloud or ownCloud server?
Short answer
Add the server address with your username and password. FoxDL browses the server like a folder, plays files in place and downloads them with the same resumable engine, keeping the credentials in the Keychain rather than in its database.

Nextcloud and ownCloud both speak WebDAV, so the same connection covers all three. Point it at the WebDAV endpoint your server exposes, and the folder tree appears in Sources.
Use HTTPS. A self-hosted server without a certificate is a password sent in the clear across whatever network you are on, and FoxDL is deliberately strict about that.
Downloads from a WebDAV server carry the authentication header for the length of the transfer only; it is never written to disk.
