Output errors in nextcloud.log
There is a load of notifications to tell the owner of the file to share it again.

My Questions:
can i disable “serverside encryption”?
If i do so do i need to run some occ commands to get files unencrypted?
I know we must update to version 25, must i do that first or first remove the encryption?

I would be very gratefull for any hint to get “my (next)cloud” running again after the migration from owncloud.

Read this documentation (at the end)

But i don’t know if the migration from ownCloud to Nextcloud is a problem. Think about a backup.

Thanks devnull,

could you plase check the link to “documentation” for it seems a dead link.

The migration did do function pretty well, but i guess that i also migrated the problem with a user acting as “manager” that did not handle encryption right, for some users encryption was set for others not.

That is why i would like to remove encryption alltogether.

Thanks,

i had read this partly, I will now start to decrypt single users in order to see if this will work.

I think that the updates to version 25 will be done afterwards.
