201+ ## Nimbus Desktop Client Integration
202+
203+ SharpSync serves as the core sync library for ** Nimbus** , an accessible Nextcloud desktop client alternative for Windows. This section documents the integration architecture and recommendations.
204+
205+ ### Architecture: Library vs Application Responsibilities
206+
207+ ** SharpSync (Library) Provides:**
208+ - Sync engine with bidirectional sync, conflict detection, progress reporting
209+ - WebDAV storage with Nextcloud-specific optimizations (chunking v2, server detection)
210+ - OAuth2 token management abstraction (` IOAuth2Provider ` )
211+ - Conflict resolution with rich analysis (` SmartConflictResolver ` )
212+ - Sync state persistence (` ISyncDatabase ` )
213+ - Pattern-based filtering (` ISyncFilter ` )
214+
215+ ** Nimbus (Application) Handles:**
216+ - Desktop UI (WPF/WinUI/Avalonia)
217+ - System tray integration
218+ - Filesystem monitoring (` FileSystemWatcher ` )
219+ - Credential storage (Windows Credential Manager)
220+ - Background sync scheduling
221+ - Virtual files (Windows Cloud Files API)
222+ - User preferences and settings
223+
224+ ### Current API Strengths for Desktop Clients
225+
226+ | Feature | Status | Notes |
227+ | ---------| --------| -------|
228+ | Progress events | Excellent | ` ProgressChanged ` event with percentage, item counts, current file |
229+ | Conflict events | Excellent | ` ConflictDetected ` with rich ` ConflictAnalysis ` data |
230+ | Sync preview | Excellent | ` GetSyncPlanAsync() ` returns detailed plan before execution |
231+ | OAuth2 abstraction | Good | ` IOAuth2Provider ` interface for app-specific implementation |
232+ | Conflict resolution | Excellent | ` SmartConflictResolver ` with UI callback delegate |
233+ | Nextcloud support | Good | Chunking v2, server detection, ETag handling |
234+
235+ ### Nimbus Integration Pattern
236+
237+ ``` csharp
238+ // 1. Nimbus implements IOAuth2Provider with Windows-specific auth
239+ public class NimbusOAuth2Provider : IOAuth2Provider
240+ {
241+ public async Task <OAuth2Result > AuthenticateAsync (OAuth2Config config , ...)
242+ {
243+ // Open system browser to authorization URL
244+ // Listen on localhost for OAuth callback
245+ // Exchange authorization code for tokens
246+ // Store tokens in Windows Credential Manager
247+ return result ;
248+ }
249+ }
250+
251+ // 2. Create storage and engine instances
252+ var localStorage = new LocalFileStorage (localSyncPath );
253+ var remoteStorage = new WebDavStorage (nextcloudUrl , nimbusOAuthProvider );
254+ var database = new SqliteSyncDatabase (Path .Combine (appDataPath , " sync.db" ));
255+ var engine = new SyncEngine (localStorage , remoteStorage , database );
256+
257+ // 3. Wire up UI binding via events
258+ engine .ProgressChanged += (s , e ) => {
259+ Dispatcher .Invoke (() => {
260+ ProgressBar .Value = e .Progress .Percentage ;
261+ StatusLabel .Text = $" Syncing: {e .Progress .CurrentItem }" ;
262+ ItemCountLabel .Text = $" {e .Progress .ProcessedItems }/{e .Progress .TotalItems }" ;
263+ });
264+ };
265+
266+ // 4. Implement conflict resolution with UI dialogs
267+ var resolver = new SmartConflictResolver (
268+ conflictHandler : async (analysis , ct ) => {
269+ // analysis contains: LocalSize, RemoteSize, LocalModified, RemoteModified,
270+ // DetectedNewer, Recommendation, ReasonForRecommendation
271+ return await Dispatcher .InvokeAsync (() => ShowConflictDialog (analysis ));
272+ },
273+ defaultResolution : ConflictResolution .Ask
274+ );
275+
276+ // 5. Preview changes before sync (optional UI feature)
277+ var plan = await engine .GetSyncPlanAsync ();
278+ // plan.Downloads, plan.Uploads, plan.Deletes, plan.Conflicts, plan.Summary
279+
280+ // 6. Nimbus handles FileSystemWatcher independently
281+ _watcher = new FileSystemWatcher (localSyncPath );
282+ _watcher .Changed += async (s , e ) => await TriggerSyncAsync ();
283+ _watcher .EnableRaisingEvents = true ;
284+ ```
285+
286+ ### Current API Gaps (To Be Resolved in v1.0)
287+
288+ | Gap | Impact | Status |
289+ | -----| --------| --------|
290+ | No selective folder sync API | Can't sync single folders on demand | Planned: ` SyncFolderAsync() ` , ` SyncFilesAsync() ` |
291+ | No pause/resume | Long syncs can't be paused | Planned: ` PauseAsync() ` , ` ResumeAsync() ` |
292+ | No incremental change notification | FileSystemWatcher triggers full scan | Planned: ` NotifyLocalChangeAsync() ` |
293+ | No virtual file awareness | Can't track placeholder vs downloaded | Planned: ` VirtualFileCallback ` |
294+ | Single-threaded engine | One sync at a time per instance | By design - create separate instances if needed |
295+ | No bandwidth throttling | Can saturate network | Planned: ` SyncOptions.MaxBytesPerSecond ` |
296+ | OCIS TUS not implemented | Falls back to generic upload | Planned for v1.0 |
297+
298+ ### Required SharpSync API Additions (v1.0)
299+
300+ These APIs are required for v1.0 release to support Nimbus desktop client:
301+
302+ ** Selective Sync:**
303+ 1 . ` SyncFolderAsync(string path) ` - Sync a specific folder without full scan
304+ 2 . ` SyncFilesAsync(IEnumerable<string> paths) ` - Sync specific files on demand
305+ 3 . ` NotifyLocalChangeAsync(string path, ChangeType type) ` - Accept FileSystemWatcher events for incremental sync
306+
307+ ** Protocol Support:**
308+ 4 . OCIS TUS protocol implementation (` WebDavStorage.cs:547 ` currently falls back)
309+
310+ ** Sync Control:**
311+ 5 . ` SyncOptions.MaxBytesPerSecond ` - Built-in bandwidth throttling
312+ 6 . ` PauseAsync() ` / ` ResumeAsync() ` - Pause and resume long-running syncs
313+ 7 . ` GetPendingOperationsAsync() ` - Inspect sync queue for UI display
314+
315+ ** Progress & History:**
316+ 8 . Per-file progress events (currently only per-sync-operation)
317+ 9 . ` GetRecentOperationsAsync() ` - Operation history for activity feed
318+
319+ ** Virtual Files:**
320+ 10 . ` SyncOptions.VirtualFileCallback ` - Hook for virtual file systems (Windows Cloud Files API)
321+
322+ ### API Readiness Score for Nimbus
323+
324+ ** Current State (Pre-v1.0):**
325+
326+ | Component | Score | Notes |
327+ | -----------| -------| -------|
328+ | Core sync engine | 9/10 | Production-ready, well-tested |
329+ | Nextcloud WebDAV | 8/10 | Missing OCIS TUS protocol |
330+ | OAuth2 abstraction | 9/10 | Clean interface, Nimbus implements |
331+ | UI binding (events) | 9/10 | Excellent progress/conflict events |
332+ | Conflict resolution | 9/10 | Rich analysis, extensible callbacks |
333+ | Selective sync | 4/10 | Filter-only, no folder/file API |
334+ | Pause/Resume | 2/10 | Not implemented |
335+ | Desktop integration hooks | 6/10 | Good abstraction, missing some hooks |
336+
337+ ** Current Overall: 7/10** - Solid foundation, gaps identified
338+
339+ ** Target for v1.0: 9.5/10** - All gaps resolved, ready for Nimbus development
