Uploading projects #

Uploading files to NextCloud is a simple drag-and-drop measure. However, if you want to use those projects in our Nebula suite, you need to adhere to a few simple rules.

Don't upload projects to your root folder #

The NextCloud root folder is what you see when you click on the files icon in your NextCloud dashboard. If you upload a project there directly, it cannot be found by the Nebula plugin. The reason for this is that you can use NextCloud to upload any data you want. Searching through all the files you might keep in your NextCloud could take a really long time. That's why it is enforced to use one or more subfolders for your PointCab projects.

The following NextCloud folder structure is recommended.

.
├─ someDataFolder
├─ PointCab Projects
│  ├─ My Project 1
│  └─ My Project 2
└─ Nested PointCab Projects
   ├─ Indoor Projects
   |  ├─ Small Houses
   |  |  ├─ Small House 1
   |  |  └─ Small House 2
   |  └─ Large Houses
   |     └─Large House 1
   └─ My Project 3

As you can see, you can nest your projects as deep as you like, but they have to be at least one layer deep.
