WebDAV Sync Component

1. Entry

Settings -> Components -> WebDAV Sync

Tap the card to open full WebDAV settings.

2. What this component does

The WebDAV component is more than a toggle. It is MemoFlow’s main entry for sync, backup, and restore workflows.

It is useful for:

  • Keeping data and settings consistent across devices
  • Creating regular backups of the local library
  • Restoring from WebDAV backups
  • Viewing WebDAV debug logs when something goes wrong

3. What you can do on this page

Inside the detailed page, the main areas are:

  • Enable WebDAV Sync: master switch
  • Server connection: configure server URL, username, password, auth mode, root path, and TLS-related options
  • Backup strategy settings: configure backup mode, encryption, schedule, retention, and scope
  • Vault security status: review current security state and recovery information
  • WebDAV logs: inspect debug logs
  • Manual actions: sync now, start backup, and restore backup

Use this order:

  1. Open Server connection.
  2. Fill in Server URL, authentication info, and Root Path.
  3. Only adjust TLS-related options if your certificate environment requires it.
  4. Return to the main page and confirm the connection summary looks correct.
  5. Then open Backup strategy settings and finish backup-related choices.

5. What backup strategy includes

The backup strategy page typically includes:

  • Backup mode / encryption mode: plain or encrypted backup
  • Backup password / Vault password: required when encryption is enabled
  • Backup schedule: manual, daily, weekly, monthly, or on app open
  • Retention: how many historical backups to keep
  • Config backup scope: safer config-only scope or fuller config scope
  • Backup memos: whether memo content is included in backup

If you want broader config coverage, encrypted backup is the safer default.

6. How to use it day to day

Scenario A: routine sync / backup

  • Keep the component enabled after setup
  • Use the sync action in the top-right or the in-page backup button when you want to run it immediately

Scenario B: restore data

  • Open the WebDAV page and tap Restore
  • Choose the backup version, restore target, and the config items you want to restore
  • If the backup contains config, you can selectively restore items such as WebDAV, image bed, image compression, AI, and app lock settings

7. Important notes

  • Keep the app in the foreground during backup or restore, because the task may pause in background
  • If encryption is enabled, store your password or recovery code safely
  • It is best to give MemoFlow a dedicated Root Path instead of mixing it with other tools

8. Good use cases

  • You use MemoFlow on multiple devices
  • You want safer migration, reinstall, or device replacement workflows
  • You want long-term snapshots of the local library
