Enabling
To be able to use the mobile apps with your FileRun installation you need to enable the API.
An SSL enabled web server is required. Your FileRun URL needs to start
with https:// and not http://. The API is served only over
HTTPS and there is no option to allow plain HTTP, not
even for testing.
Please follow these steps:
- Login to the FileRun installation as superuser.
- Open the control panel.
- Select "API" from the menu.
- Select the "Enable API" checkbox.
- Click "Save Changes".
Whichever app you use, it signs in with an app password and not with your FileRun password. The Nextcloud apps ask only for the address of your FileRun installation and then let you approve the connection in the browser; FileRun gives them their own credentials at that moment, so there is nothing for you to type. Any other app asks for a username and a password, which you create yourself with the
Connect appoption of the FileRun interface. See App passwords.

folder.
