Hello, while installing the latest Nextcloud Desktop Client for macOS, I noticed that some of the official download links appeared to be broken. At the time of my installation: - [https://docs.nextcloud.com/desktop/latest](https://docs.nextcloud.com/desktop/latest) returned HTTP 404. - The desktop download page redirected to a non-working page. - I was only able to install the client after manually locating the installer on the official download server. The installer itself (`Nextcloud-33.0.6.pkg`) is valid and Apple notarized, so this does not appear to be an installer issue. Later, I noticed that some pages became available again, so I am not sure whether this was a temporary infrastructure problem or whether there is still a broken redirect somewhere. Has anyone else observed this recently? If this is a known documentation or website issue, I would be happy to open a GitHub issue.

> [@JimmyKater](#): > > [download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases](http://download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases) .. you´r right ! .. there I found the correct version for me and could successfully install it on my intel based Mac mini. But anyway I would show in following screenshot where I got the misleading 404 download link. Maybe it should be deleted from the official Nextcloud download page. ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-08-04 um 10.32.23](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/b/b/bb02d108810b198b0f8cd606f9e8123ce4ef1ad9.jpeg) ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-08-04 um 10.18.28](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/b/cb431d2e7b94fcc7e1d0b854529d231d5d055698.jpeg) ---

that should link to the manuals as the text says. and you’re right the correct link should be [Desktop Client — Nextcloud 35 User Manual](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/desktop/index.html) ---

Ok! .. the link is wrong, but my expectations have also been wrong, because I was looking for the desktop client app download and not the documentation. As said I found the correct one `Nextcloud-33.0.6.pkg` and installed it successfully. So that was my mistake as well - sorry 🙃 - but thanks for your quick response. I will correct this in my GitHub issue as well.
