WebDAV sync explained

Milo 输入法 supports synchronizing your user dictionary and configuration through WebDAV, so you can move between devices.

Supported WebDAV services

Nutstore (recommended; a free account can be used)
Nextcloud
ownCloud
Any standard WebDAV server

Setup

Open Milo 输入法 settings
Go to "User data sync"
Enter your WebDAV server address, username and app password
Choose a sync interval (manual, every 6 hours or every 12 hours)
Tap "Sync now"

How synchronization works

Milo 输入法 uses Rime's snapshot synchronization mechanism:

Export a local user data snapshot
Upload it to the WebDAV server
Download snapshots from other devices
Merge all snapshots using their timestamps
Upload the merged snapshot again

All your data is stored on your own WebDAV server; we cannot access its contents.
