Hmm. I'm not good in documentation. If you have proposals for the
manual, pls tell me.

I have a nextcloud account on host "ecloud.global" with the user name
"michael.albinus@e.email". (Well, this belongs to the /e/ project, a
Google-less phone). So I open in Emacs

C-x C-f /nextcloud:michael.albinus@e.email@ecloud.global:/

Does this help? If not, what OS, Emacs version and Tramp version (if not
the Emacs built-in Tramp) are you using? Do you have enabled D-Bus in
your Emacs built?

I've changed the subject :-)
