Overview

This node interacts with the ownCloud API to perform various file operations such as listing files and folders, uploading, downloading, deleting, moving, copying, creating folders, and retrieving file metadata. It is useful for automating file management tasks within an ownCloud environment, for example, listing all files in a directory to process them further or uploading files from a workflow.

Use Case Examples

1. List all files in a specific ownCloud directory to process or analyze them.
2. Upload a file to ownCloud from binary data in a workflow.
3. Download a file from ownCloud and use it in subsequent workflow steps.
