Problem connecting to MagentaCloud

Help Android App

Hey, I’ve got a problem connecting to MagentaCloud via the Cryptomator Android App

My setup:

  • Android 15 (GrapheneOS)
  • Cryptomator 1.10.4
  • MagentaCloud Account + separate protocol password

Problem
I cannot connect to MagentaCloud via webdav, because the Cryptomator android app expects credentials to be entered when adding a vault via webdav.

MagentaCloud on the other hand obliges you to create an “access token” in their web application without the possibility to set a “Username/password” combination. WebDAV access via credentials (username/password) is not supported.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Android app
  2. Add vault → WebDAV
  3. Add new location
  4. Enter URL: https://magentacloud.de/remote.php/webdav
  5. Leave username blank
  6. Enter separate protocol password (format: xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx) as password
  7. Click “connect”

Expected result
Cryptomator establishes a connection via WebDAV to Magentacloud, using the provided token.

Actual result
Warning message: “field username cannot be left blank”, adding vault not possible.

Additional info
Adding the MagentaCloud in rclone via webdav works (there an authentication method via “bearer-token” is possible.

Login with account credentials (“name@mailprovider.org”, “password”) is not allowed via WebDAV.

Is this specific login method (MagentaCloud with token) not supported by the android app?

Update
I fixed the problem!

Solution was: You get a user name, if you create an e-mail address with your magenta / telekom account (see: “Create a password for WebDAV”)

I haven’t done this before. Now I can successfully login using this newly created mail address (user@magenta.de) and this separate protocol password.
