Support for uploading to Nextcloud

[timbru31]

It would be very nice to have an automatic upload to Nextcloud (/ownCloud) instances.

• [ ] Examine if there is an existing API to upload files
• [ ] Research if Python libraries are available
• [ ] Since Nextcloud is a fork of ownCloud, maybe make a cross-compatible version

Disclaimer, I might take this issue and work on a PR - depending on the amount of spare time.

Why don't you just download the files directly into the owncloud folder? If you are running the script on the same machine, we could also add a hook to make owncloud scan the folder after the download, so you don't need to install the client (hooks would be a nice feature anyways).

I know that there are issues with symlinked folders and owncloud, also headless client configuration might be complicated. But I think this is way out of scope since the current script works perfectly fine with an owncloud client. Are there any further advantages in handling uploads via api that I have missed?

Well my plan is to run the script on a server, so there is no ownCloud/Nextcloud client installed I could symlink/download files to. That's why I thought uploading via the API (via e.g. app passwords)

Hi, I haven't try it but this is the official client. The example looks pretty straightforward
