SHA-256 checksums

Connect the browser

Install the PrivCloud browser extension. Keep its exact ID from chrome://extensions or edge://extensions.

Install the extension

Install the package

Open a terminal in the download folder. The package manager requires administrator permissions.

sudo dnf install ./privcloud-companion-beta-0.1.4-0.beta2.noarch.rpm

Configure your user account

Run these commands without sudo. Replace YOUR_ID with your Chromium extension ID, containing 32 letters.

/usr/bin/privcloud-companion --configure-runtime "$(command -v node)"
PRIVCLOUD_CHROME_EXTENSION_ID=YOUR_ID sh /usr/share/privcloud-companion/register-native-messaging.sh

Check that it works

Return to Integrations, select Refresh and check that the extension and Companion are detected. Sign in and try importing a small WebDAV file using a revocable app password.

Need help?

If Companion is missing, check Node.js, the launcher path and the extension ID, then reload the extension and PrivCloud. After an NVM update, configure the Node.js path again. A Flatpak browser may need explicit access to the Companion folder.
