+# Accessing Nextcloud With WebDAV on Arch
+
+> Mon 15th February 2021 By David T. Sadler.
+
+I have a Nextcloud instance and I want to mount it as a directory on my local machine. Since Nextcloud cloud supports the WebDAV protocol its possible to do this by installing davfs2 which can mount a WebDAV resource.
+
+The first thing I had to do was install davfs2.
+
+```shell
+$ sudo pacman -S davfs2
+```
+
+Next I created the directory where Nextcloud would be mounted.
+
+```shell
+$ mkdir -p .local/share/nextcloud
+```
+
+I then needed to tell Arch how to mount Nextcloud by adding the below line to the /etc/fstab file.
+
+```shell
+https://my-nextcloud-server.com/path /home/david/.local/share/nextcloud davfs rw,user,uid=david,noauto 0 0
+```
+
+Since access to Nextcloud is controlled by a username and password these where added to the ~/.davfs2 file.
+
+```shell
+https://my-nextcloud-server.com/path username password
+```
+
+I made sure this file had the correct permissions to ensure security.
+
+```shell
+$ chmod 600 ~/.davfs2/secrets
+```
+
+Now I can mount Nextcloud and access my files just like any others.
+
+```shell
+$ mount .local/share/nextcloud
+```
