Adding an online account? Librem 5

Is it possible to add an online account beyond those that are listed by default? For example I use Dropbox but it has Nextcloud in the list. I could change, but being able to add other accounts would be handy.

Not to my awareness.

Thatā€™s a shame, but not a deal breaker. For the amount of times that I use Dropbox Iā€™ll just switch to Nextcloud. Surprises me however that you canā€™t.

As far as I know, the ā€œonline accountā€ function is for setting up things like e-mail, calendar and address books. Does Dropbox offer those? I thought it was only a file sharing/synchronisation productā€¦

Anyway Iā€™m pretty sure (although I donā€™t use it myself) Dropbox is well supported on Linux, so you should not need to change. Whatever procedure you would use to set it up on a laptop should work on the phone as well.

I use Dropbox very infrequently and , I think youā€™re correct, its just storage. It might be time fir me to go to Nextcloud to make contacts transfers etc easier.

Development follow up:

In short, yes you can, as long as it is a supported provider:
