Automatic sync

• Files added to the local Nextcloud folder are automatically uploaded to the server
• Files modified on the server (via the web interface or mobile app) are automatically downloaded

Conflict resolution

If a file is modified simultaneously on the local machine and the server, Nextcloud creates a conflict copy.
