WebDAV sync lets you push your Ophel data to a server you own and pull it back on any other device where Ophel is installed. Because the data goes to your own server — not to Ophel’s infrastructure — you stay in full control of where your data lives. Ophel has built-in presets for the most common WebDAV providers:

​
What gets synced

WebDAV sync backs up the Ophel data stored locally:
  • Folders, tags, and pinned state you’ve set for your conversations
  • Your prompt library
  • Ophel settings
  • Claude Session Keys, if you use the Claude multi-account feature
Not synced: The actual conversation messages on AI platforms. Those messages belong to each AI service. Ophel has no access to read or upload them.
Backup files can contain valid Claude Session Keys when that feature is in use. Keep WebDAV backup files private.

​
Settings

Configure the sync connection at Settings → Backup & Sync → WebDAV:

​
Set up WebDAV sync

1

Open the WebDAV settings panel

Go to Settings → Backup & Sync → WebDAV.
2

Enter your server details

Fill in the Server URL, Username, Password, and Remote path. If the remote path doesn’t exist yet, Ophel creates it on first sync.
3

Grant the required permission

WebDAV sync requires the optional <all_urls> permission. Your browser will prompt you to grant it the first time you enable the feature.
4

Test the connection

Click Test connection to verify your credentials and server reachability before syncing any data.
5

Choose a sync mode and save

Select manual or automatic sync, set an interval if using automatic, and save your configuration.
6

Push your data

Click Upload backup to push your current local data to the server.

​
Restore on a new device

1

Configure the same WebDAV server

On the new device, enter the same server URL, username, password, and remote path you used on the original device.
2

Pull from server

Click Pull from server to open the list of remote backups, then select the snapshot you want to restore.

​
Multi-device usage

When multiple devices are active at the same time, use manual sync rather than automatic sync. Simultaneous automatic syncs from different devices can cause write conflicts on the server.

​
Required permission

WebDAV sync requires the optional <all_urls> browser permission. Ophel uses this to make network requests to your WebDAV server’s URL. The browser will ask you to grant this permission the first time you enable WebDAV sync. You can revoke it at any time from Settings → Permissions — revoking it will disable WebDAV sync automatically.

​
Provider-specific setup notes

Log in to the Jianguoyun web dashboard, go to Account Info, and generate an app-specific password. Use that app password in the Password field — your main login password will not work. The server URL is pre-filled as https://dav.jianguoyun.com/dav/.
Set the server URL to https://your-domain/remote.php/dav/files/username/. Use your Nextcloud login username and password.
Install the WebDAV Server package from Package Center and enable HTTPS. The server URL format is https://your-nas-address/webdav/.
Select Custom and enter your server’s WebDAV URL. The URL must start with https:// — plain HTTP is not supported.
