# NextCloud

The `robomotion nextcloud` CLI connects to NextCloud (self-hosted cloud storage) for file management, sharing, and administration. It uploads, downloads, lists, and deletes files; creates and manages shares with permissions; and administers users.

## When to use
- Upload or download files between local filesystem and NextCloud
- List files, create folders, and manage file operations
- Create, list, and manage file/folder shares with permissions
- Administer NextCloud users

## Prerequisites
- `robomotion` CLI installed
- Package installed: `robomotion install nextcloud`
- NextCloud instance URL and credentials configured via Robomotion vault

## IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations
Each CLI command runs as a **separate process** — connection IDs from `connect` do NOT persist across calls.
You MUST use `--session` on `connect` and pass `--session-id` to all subsequent commands.

## Workflow
1. Install (once): `robomotion install nextcloud`
2. Connect with session:
   ```
   robomotion nextcloud nextcloud_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   ```
3. Use the returned `client-id` and `session-id` in all subsequent commands:
   ```
   robomotion nextcloud nextcloud_upload --client-id "<client-id>" --local-path <file> --remote-path <dest> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   ```
4. Disconnect when done:
   ```
   robomotion nextcloud nextcloud_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   ```

**Always** append `--output json` to get structured JSON results.
