2.5 Setting Up Your Devices

You can use the Vault in a browser without installing anything. Add compatible apps when you want synchronization or native notifications.

Choose the service

• Files: use a Nextcloud desktop or mobile client and connect it to https://vault.lightdrive.one.
• Email: use IMAP at mail.lightdrive.one:993 with SSL/TLS and SMTP at mail.lightdrive.one:587 with STARTTLS.
• Calendar: use CalDAV at https://vault.lightdrive.one/remote.php/dav/.
• Tasks: use the same CalDAV service as Calendar with a task app that supports VTODO. A LightDrive client password that includes Calendars is recommended for third-party task apps.
• Contacts: use the CardDAV address shown in Chapter 14.
• Ebooks: create a reader access key in Books settings and add the displayed OPDS catalog to a compatible reader.

Use the right password for each service

• Files: use browser sign-in or a compatible Vault credential. Create a Vault app password under Settings → Security → App & device access when the client cannot complete browser sign-in.
• Calendar: a LightDrive client password that includes Calendars is recommended for third-party apps. Your main LightDrive password or a Vault app password may also work with compatible Calendar clients.
• Email: create a LightDrive client password under Settings → Security → App & device access that includes Email. Choose Email only for a mail-only app, or include Contacts and/or Calendars if that app needs them.
• Contacts: create a LightDrive client password under Settings → Security → App & device access that includes Contacts.

Give every app and device a distinct name so you can revoke only that credential later. Your main LightDrive password and Vault app passwords do not authenticate to IMAP, SMTP, or CardDAV. LightDrive client passwords grant only their selected Email, Contacts, and/or Calendars services, not Files access.
