KDE can't add owncloud / webdav resource

Dear all,

I recently went to give KDE 5 / Plasma another try and I am irritated that the ownCloud integration seems broken. I see the kaccounts-integration application, which claims it lets me add ownCloud, but it doesn't. Also the Akonadi configuration only lets me add Google accounts but now ownCloud accounts, even though the installed kdepim-runtime package seems to ship the necessary components.

kdepim-runtime seems to ship support for a number of groupware providers, and yet none of them appears in the online accounts settings or in the akonadi setup. Am I missing something? owncloud integration in KDE used to rock, now it's gone, why? Does anyone else see the same issue?

What kind of resource do you want to add? Works for me in akonadi for calendars and address books:

kaccounts doesn't support owncloud yet in 15.08, but kaccounts is only used by telepathy ATM

Webdav/owncloud

For some reason, the akonadi settings dialogue will only allow me to add Google resources, nothing else
,

neither will the new Online Accounts settings module

At the same time, when I launch akonadiconsole, I can add webdav (owncloud) resources.

  Very strange

That configuration dialog is badly broken (and I think it's been already removed in git). Add the resources directly in the applications, or in akonadiconsole.

Actually it's three applications which claim to be able to handle my ownCloud account but which don't. Apart from the two above mentioned it's also the new storage manager which only lets me add Google drive and nothing else works with it. Actually Google drive also doesn't work  (I don't get any files to show up), dropbox doesn't work (the app has been disabled by Dropbox), and I cannot add ownCloud there either.

At the moment KDE 5 / Plasma / whatever it is now called feels too unstable and incoherent for productive use.

Re: KDE can't add owncloud / webdav resource

What is "storage manager"? I'm not aware of any KDE product under that name.

edit: Nevermind, found it. You know that the KDE4 version of kdepim is still available, right?
