Nextcloud and ownCloud
Connect your own Nextcloud or ownCloud instance and read, search and write files.
Kasimir connects to your own Nextcloud or ownCloud instance. Both offer the same tools: search files, list folders, read and write files. Only connecting differs.
Connect
Unlike Microsoft 365, Google or Atlassian, this needs no OAuth application with a provider. Nextcloud brings its own procedure for this, “Login Flow v2”:
Open Customize → Integrations, click Connect on the Nextcloud tile and enter the address of your instance.
Kasimir opens the sign-in page of that instance in a new tab.
Confirm access there. Your instance issues an app password; Kasimir waits until the confirmation arrives.
ownCloud does not support this flow. There you first create an app password in your ownCloud under Settings → Security → App passwords. Then click Connect on the ownCloud tile and enter the address of your instance, your user name and the app password. No new tab opens.
Creating connections requires the Connect integrations permission – by default only owners and admins have it; owners or admins enable it for members under Roles and permissions.
Personal or company-wide: a personal connection belongs only to you; Kasimir uses it in your private chats, agents and workflows – not in team or project chats, whose answers all members see. Owners and admins create a company connection under Administration → Integrations. Only owners and admins may use it directly; members reach its content via shared folders (read-only). Workflow steps for files, mail, calendar and spreadsheets always use a personal connection, never the company connection. If a workflow runs without a person starting it (schedule, form, webhook or integration trigger), it uses the connection of the person who created it – but only once an owner or admin has confirmed this in the workflow settings.
Kasimir never learns your regular password — it only receives an app password that you can revoke in your instance at any time.
What Kasimir can do with it
Find files via your instance’s search
List a folder
Read a file
Write a file
In the chat you switch the connection on under Knowledge sources → Connected services; writing is set to Ask first by default.
Folders as live knowledge
Like OneDrive, SharePoint and Google Drive, Nextcloud and ownCloud are also the basis for Work in a folder: there you link a folder to a chat, and Kasimir reads it afresh for every question. In such a chat the Nextcloud and ownCloud tools search, list, read and write only within that folder. For large, long-lived collections there is also the indexed route via External sources.
