I’ve been using Nextcloud for quite a while. Every since the upgrade to the 4.x branch of the desktop client, the systeem is unreliable.
Basically what happens is this. I have a pc with two users: 1 administrator and 1 limited user account. A rather basic setup I would think, also taking account basic security steps.
The thing is: the Nextcloud client only runs only once on the limited user account. Whereas it runs perfectly fine over and over again on the user with administrator rights. So I keep setting up the account and syncing the folders over and over again (each time a new location on the hard drive….), to discover that after a reboot the client simply does not function anymore.
According to task manager it is up and running in the limited user, however… there is no task bar icon, also not after restarting the client via the start menu. Killing the client via the task manager and restarting it has the same effect: running according to task manager, but nothing visible.
Once I delete (rename) the Nextcloud folders in the appdata local and roaming folder, the client runs perfectly fine and asks to setup the server. To subsequently stop working after one reboot. And then the cycle has been completed once again…..
I’ve reinstalled the client a few times already, including deleting/renaming the appdata folders (both local and roaming).
The 3.x branch of the client software ran perfectly fine. What is going on here and what can I do to fix this? Or what can you do to fix the bug that might be present?
Please let me know if you need additional info. Thanks for all the help.
