I am attempting to setup a OwnCloud instance on our account and the web client works perfectly, I can upload and download files without issue.


When I try to use the sync client though I recieve this error:


Trying to connect to ownCloud at http://files.mydomain.com...


Successfully connected to http://files.mydomain.com: ownCloud version 4.5.7 (4.90.8)


Local sync folder C:/Users/david\ownCloud already exists, setting it up for sync.


Remote folder clientsync creation failed with error 301.


Connection to ownCloud could not be established. Please check again.


Any ideas? I am not attempting to connect via https.

Hello Frogdawg,

The remote folder clientsync creation looks like it failed because you're trying to create a folder using webDAV - which will not work on a Shared Server account (any Business level account). You should be able to make this folder mount on your desktop system, but not with the web hosting server. You can make this service work on a VPS or Dedicated server account, but unfortunately not on the your current level of account.

.If you have any further questions, please contact technical support or eave a comment at the bottom of the page.
