Sync guide

Sync

Keep independent copies in storage you control, then run an immediate backup or set a recurring schedule.

Connect a backup destination

Open Sync → Destinations, choose a storage provider, and use Test & save. After connecting, use Sync now for an initial copy and optionally enable an automatic daily or weekly schedule.

S3-compatible

S3 / R2 / compatible storage

  1. 1. Choose S3-compatible.
  2. 2. Enter a destination name, provider service endpoint, bucket, region, access key, and secret key.
  3. 3. Keep path-style requests enabled if your provider requires it. For Cloudflare R2, the region is commonly auto; AWS normally needs the bucket’s region.
  4. 4. Optionally choose a remote folder, then test and save.

WebDAV

Nextcloud or another WebDAV server

  1. 1. Choose WebDAV / Nextcloud.
  2. 2. Enter a name, the HTTPS WebDAV collection URL, username, and password or app password.
  3. 3. Optionally set a remote folder below that collection, then test and save.
  4. 4. Use a public HTTPS endpoint; local-network and non-HTTPS endpoints cannot be connected.

Google Drive

A dedicated Drive folder

  1. 1. Choose Google Drive and optionally name the Drive folder.
  2. 2. Select Connect Google Drive and complete Google authorization.
  3. 3. TailCache works only in the folder it creates and its contents, rather than across your whole Drive.
  4. 4. Sync now or set an automatic schedule once the destination appears.
Google Drive notice

TailCache’s Google Drive integration is currently unverified. Google will show warnings during authorization; this is expected. Review the consent screen carefully and continue only if you trust this TailCache installation.
