Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1430

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I saw that this has been requested before in #1384 #1217 #1086 which cannot be done in browser extension. My request is to do this for the Android app only. Since desktop already has LoFloccus, SyncThing can then be used to sync across all platforms.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow syncing to local file on Android. I suppose this is possible with Android app since it's not a browser extension.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

I also want this to sync lofloccus and Android, currently there is no way to use lofloccus and sync with Android (such as via syncthing) unless you expose the lofloccus webdav server to the Internet (dangerous)

Unless someone knows of an android app that can emulate a dav server?

@ghost commented on GitHub (Apr 18, 2025):

I would also appreciate the option to pick a folder via Android's Storage Access Framework (SAF) instead of having to provide cloud storage credentials to the app. I use RSAF to access my cloud storage which is based on rclone and therefore also provides strong encryption (optionally). Then I also use FolderSync Pro to sync my cloud storage. Basically, floccus replicates a lot of functionality I don't need. I just want to share URLs to floccus to store them as bookmarks and open bookmarks from floccus. floccus can already do these two things. The requirement to let floccus handle the cloud access and sync, this not beneficial to me. In theory any note taking app or editor can do what I want but it lacks the comfort of an app that actually specializes on managing bookmarks.

@mvevitsis
Hello

What are the actual security risks of using a WebDAV server if it stores only notes and no sensitive data (such as passwords)?

Additionally, there is an extra protection mechanism in place using a key phrase.

For deploying a WebDAV server on Android, MiXplorer can be used, for example.
