Can't add Nextcloud folders in other apps
Expected behaviour
Add Nextcloud folders in other apps, eg. in Textastic. There are only a few complete first class file storage citizen on iOS who supports this feature, eg. Working Copy or Secure Shell Fish
This is what I mean: https://www.textasticapp.com/v8/manual/integration_other_apps/external_files_folders.html
Actual behaviour
Can't add Nextcloud folders in Textastic or 1Writer - Nextcloud storage is just greyed out.
Steps to reproduce
Open Textastic or 1Writer (or any other app which supports adding folders) and try it with Nextcloud storage provider.
iOS version
13.1 (but it never worked, even with iOS 12)
App version
2.24.1 (also never worked before)
Server configuration
Doesn't matter, it's an iOS topic
Maybe this helps for the right direction, especially for iOS 13 and up: https://github.com/tbodt/ish/issues/496 https://twitter.com/palmin/status/1177860144258076673
I know that bumping an issue via commenting is not good practice, but I would like to emphasize the importance of this feature. Without it, there are many scenarios where Nextcloud is currently unusable as a storage provider. My particular use case is to store my Markdown notes in a Nextcloud folder and use iA Writer on my iPad to access those notes. Currently, this is not possible.
@helmut72's linked tweet also makes it seem like this is just an issue of setting a boolean value in a configuration file, so it shouldn't even be much work to add this feature.
Same problem with the integration of Ulysses with the Nextcloud Files-integration. It's just grayed out; so only Dropbox is usable with it :(

I’m not a programmer but this maybe can help.
example of open in place for iOS / iPadOS
it’s from Anders Borum the creator of Secure ShellFish and Working Copy
Well I just bothered Anders today again and he thankfully pointed me as well to the fix. Maybe this should be implemented so that people would just stop nagging him? This is the link he provided: https://twitter.com/benoitsan/status/1380507723020783619
In addition her is a relevant post from the forum: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/ios-files-app-integration/124283/5
I would be very glad if this would be fixed. My personal issue is that mediafiles that I marked for offline use and are stored on the iPhone itself are not found by VLC (media list completely emtpy) so i can not use the app to sync media files for other apps :/
Nearly 3 years is a long time. I switched to Secure Shell Fish and dropped Nextcloud iOS app for file related stuff. Nextcloud Server can mount SFTP, therefore the files are synced with the Desktop app.

Does that mean you need to save all your files in the SFTP mount and you're basically not using Nextcloud's file system? Does the desktop client really sync those files or does it merely provide access to them?

Yes, it will be synced with the Desktop client. You can mount external storages in Nextcloud server: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage_configuration_gui.html
Because this access is slower than a local access, it's noticable slower of course. Also I can't access files from the local storage of the Nextcloud server from my iPhone and iPad. Only the content which I put into the external mounted folder. But this is ok for me. I don't need to access every file from my mobiles which I've created on the Desktop.
So, any update on this? I really want to be able to add my Nextcloud Notes folder to Ulysses for iPad
Funny you mention that, I wanted to use it as destination for iA, very similar to Ulysses
Oooh my Lord, same problem here; and to say this is a necessary feature is simply putting it blunt. I find myself now trying to work out a work around for copying a file using iOS Shortcuts to a nextcloud shared directory, accessible and synced to nextcloud; available from the desktop app. I'm spelling it out plainly, because in spirit, this should be an obvious workflow that anyone would expect to work
So, is there a workaround that doesn't involve simultaneous tummy rubbing and head patting?
I just ran into this problem too. I managed to get around it in Cryptomator by using the WebDAV address instead. 1Writer should let you do the same, in Textastic I think you have to set it up as a file transfer destination instead of being simply "open in place".
Theres a few workarounds, but nothing really ideal for my use case.

I was using keepassium successfully up until some weeks ago; now it's not working anymore. Unfortunately I cannot be more precise than that but it must have been fixed somewhere during the last few months and than broke again. 😭
Very unfortunate

Would be graet if this issue can be resolved. For me this would be a great enhancement.
I’d pay some money actually!

Follow these steps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 11 or later:
- Download and set up the third-party cloud app.
- Open the Files app.
- Tap Locations > Edit.
- Slide to turn on the third-party apps that you want to use in the Files app.
Works for me.
Tap Done.

The issue is that even after this, Nextcloud is still greyed out in other apps than the Files app. For me it is Logseq for example.
Same issue for me! The files App is working, but from other 3rd party apps you can not access the files.

This is still a problem on iOS 16.5 (iPhone 14 Pro Max). As @CommandLord mentioned I am also having the issue where Nextcloud is grayed out for me when trying to use Logseq (which makes things very frustrating as you can imagine).
Any chance there might be a fix on the horizon for this?
Very frustrating indeed. I can sync my files locally, but I cannot use them 😞
For others trying to make a workflow here with Logseq I have some further bad news: the mobile app of Logseq does not currently support reading graphs outside of the "On my iPhone" or iCloud folders. Thus, even if Nextcloud fixed this bug, we could not read the graph as it is not in one of these folders 😭 I found this out by setting up Resilio Sync with my graph via my Desktop and iPhone, and that was the result.
