This addon extends the functionality of the fs_folder module to improve the user experience when working with folders in an external storage supporting WebDAV (e.g. Nextcloud).\ This module is not strictly required to use WebDAV storage.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Improves how WebDAV folders (such as Nextcloud) are displayed in the folder browser, hiding fields WebDAV does not support and showing the last modification date in a readable format.

This module is a small user-interface improvement for folders stored on an external WebDAV storage (for example Nextcloud). It does not add new menus or database models; it changes how the existing folder browser behaves when the selected storage uses the WebDAV protocol.

When a folder is opened on a WebDAV storage, the module automatically detects the protocol and adjusts the list of columns shown to the user:

  • The "uid" (owner) and "created" (creation date) columns are removed, because WebDAV does not provide this information.
  • The "mtime" (last modification) column is kept but displayed as a proper date and time, converted from the raw value returned by the storage.

For any other storage type, the folder view stays exactly as before. The change is purely visual and applies inside the folder browsing screen provided by the fs_folder module. No business rules, scheduled jobs, emails or access restrictions are added by this module.

Configuration

Source · Odoo 18.0

To configure a WebDAV storage with fs_folder, you need to install webdav4[fsspec] library to make the webdav protocol available in the FS Storage configuration.

  • The Directory Path depends on your webdav provider. Exemple for Nextcloud : /remote.php/dav/files/username/path/Directory.
  • Add the login and url informations in the Options:
{
    "base_url": "https://cloud.domain.com",
    "auth": ["username", "password"]
}
