Create and update files in Nextcloud

Questions

Unfortunately, I miss the option to create and update files mentioned in your documentation below (in the first paragraph).

Nextcloud | n8n Docs

I have found all the other functions listed below, but the crucial one for me, how to insert generated text into files created for this purpose and then change them later, does not seem to be available yet?

Has it been decided when this will be available?

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.52.2
  • Database (default: SQLite): default
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): translation doesn’t tell me what is meant
  • Running n8n via: Docker compose
  • Operating system: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 6.8.0-38-generic x86_64) or what is meant here?

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @Matze202,

Welcome to the community! :sunflower:

The reason why these actions are not explicitly in n8n’s list is because Nextcloud does not offer a direct method to create and update files. Instead you can use upload file to create and edit a file.

When you upload a file to a location where it does not already exist, you are creating it. If the file exists, uploading it again updates its content. - Accessing Nextcloud files using WebDAV — Nextcloud latest User Manual latest documentation

Hi @mariana-na !

Thank you for this answer, now I can understand it, but it would be very nice if you included this information in your documentation until it works on Nextcloud’s part.
