Hi,

@rzitka said in DavX5 is not sending backup files into Nextcloud:

Going to Nextcloud, searchiong all files, but no seeing any backups.

Which backups would you expect? DAVx5 doesn’t make backups, but synchronizes contacts within the given account.

I think this is your problem/solution: https://www.davx5.com/faq/existing-contacts-are-not-synced (including video)

See also: https://www.davx5.com/manual/accounts_collections.html

Does that help?

@rfc2822 Hi, yes, that was the problem. I exported contacts from local do DavX5 account and now the contacts synchronize.
But I couldn’t find how to export/import events from local calendar to davx5 calendar account, so the calendar is still not synchronizing. Is there any manual for exporting calendar? I couldn’t find any possibility in the phone menus…

@rfc2822 OK, I have got it. I had to change the location separately within each one event in calendar. Little bit more work, but got it now… Thanks a lot buying coffe for you

@rzitka Happy that it now works for you. There are calendar apps which can import/export, too (the more advanced calendar apps from the stores).

Maybe we should create a more generic FAQ entry, which includes contacts and events.
