Description:

I am able to load the cells website and use it as expect with LTS enabled. I have downloaded the android application and have been able to successfully connect to the server and use it as expected.

However when I download the windows Pydio sync client and attempt the connect I get the error seen at the top of this post.

The only solution I was able to find was for one that allows overrides in the of the apache virtual host, however because I’m running cells on Docker and apache on bare server, it’s not as simple as pointing to a directory in hopes to test the solution. If anybody has a known working solution for this issue, please let me know.

Thank you,
Josh

Hi,

for the moment the sync client is not working with cells, it is on the roadmap.

Thank you for this info. It may be a good idea to make note of that on the download page of the website.
