HTTPS-only Nextcloud connections
Admins configure an HTTPS Nextcloud URL and verify the connection before teams start linking folders. Private and metadata hosts are blocked as an SSRF mitigation.
Jira Plugin No user limits HTTPS connection

- Files stay in Nextcloud
The problem
Project files live in Nextcloud. Work happens in Jira.
Teams store deliverables, specs, and assets in Nextcloud but track work in Jira. Without a direct link, people copy URLs into comments, hunt for the right folder, or attach duplicates into Jira.
Nextcloud for Jira keeps file context on the issue.
- Link a Nextcloud folder to each Jira issue
- Browse files from the Nextcloud files panel on each Jira issue
- Refresh the file list without leaving Jira
- Open the linked folder or any file in Nextcloud
Feature
Connect Nextcloud with test before save
Jira admins enter the Nextcloud URL, service account, and app password, then verify the connection before teams start linking folders:
- HTTPS Nextcloud URL and app password
- Test connection with clear Connected status
- Works with any reachable HTTPS Nextcloud instance
- Disconnect without losing issue folder mappings
Feature
Issue folder linking from Jira
Each issue can point to the right Nextcloud folder so delivery teams always know where project files live:
- Manual link to an existing Nextcloud folder
- Optional auto-create Jira/ISSUE-KEY folders
- Change folder or refresh the file list from the panel
- File work stays in Nextcloud — link-first workflow
Connection settings
Enter Nextcloud URL, account, and app password. Test the connection and save only when status shows Connected.
Customer-managed egress
Each site admin approves outbound access to their Nextcloud domain. Credentials are stored with Forge encrypted secret storage.
Nextcloud files panel
Open the Nextcloud files panel on any Jira issue to link a folder, browse files, refresh the list, and jump into Nextcloud.
