Yes, I ended up with
@path ${NEXTCLOUD}/dir1/dir2
@file myfile.txt
(I prefer using ${NEXTCLOUD} to $NEXTCLOUD, but that is a very minor point)
one thing I note is that leo says eg:
wrote file myfile.txt
where I would prefer it wrote the full path.
I now seem to have quite a few files scattered around called
"{{g.app.homedir}}{{sep}}"...
