Services

You can connect your PhotoPrism instance to other services with WebDAV support, such as other PhotoPrism instances, Nextcloud or ownCloud.

This might be useful if you want to share or synchronize files between multiple services.

Since they are not safe to use without authentication, these settings are not available when running in public mode.

PhotoPrism can also serve/share files via WebDAV to be browsed on macOS or Windows. See instructions.
