Apps and access

Use native apps first

Native apps are the recommended daily path. WebUI is for browser and admin access. WebDAV and rclone are supported tool paths for compatible workflows.

Goal

Choose the right access path

Know whether to use an app, WebUI, Server Manager, or WebDAV and rclone before you add more folders, users, or tools.

Before

Before you start

  • Daily files: native desktop and mobile apps.
  • Admin and browser checks: WebUI.
  • Migration and automation: WebDAV and rclone.
  • Server install: Server Manager only.

1. Use native apps for daily files

Use desktop and mobile apps for normal file access, uploads, device state, sync activity, photo backup, and settings. Start with discovery on the local network; use a copied server address only if discovery does not find the server.

Native file access: Desktop apps are designed for native file-provider and explorer surfaces such as Finder and File Explorer where supported. Mobile apps are designed for Files and Android document workflows where supported. Use WebUI for browser/admin work and WebDAV or rclone when a standard tool endpoint is the job.
Mobile availability: iOS and Android apps are part of the native app path; current access is through mobile beta programs.

2. Use WebUI for browser and admin work

Use the WebUI for browser file access, sharing, version history, admin users, quotas, backup status, and recovery checks.

WebUI
The WebUI gives you browser access to files and admin checks without changing the daily native-app path.

3. Use WebDAV and rclone for tools

Use WebDAV and rclone for compatible clients, migration, scripted copy, sync checks, mounts, and automation.

4. Keep photo backup intentional

Photo backup copies phone media to My Drive / Camera Uploads / YYYY / MM. Leave it off until you have enough storage, a backup target, and a restore check.

Success check

  • The server is running in Server Manager.
  • One native app can sign in and open My Drive.
  • The WebUI opens from a browser.
  • You know whether the next job needs WebDAV and rclone or a native app.
