Desktop client will not sync on ubuntu 24.04.1

[MadsPeterJensen]

I have installed my own nextcloud server and that is working fine. And then i installed the Nextcluod client for Ubuntu using the Appcenter. Installation went well, but I can’t get syncing. It claims that I do not have write access to my home folder, which is not correct. There are lots of help regarding this but it’s all about Windows, and I am running Ubuntu 24.04.1.
How to solve this.
I have made screen shots of the problem. I have tried also to make a file exception, but it give the same answer “No rights for writing”
Screenshots:

I hope somebody know howto fiks this.

Hi,
based on your description, I think the issue might not be with the client itself, but rather with the sync target location.

It looks like you’re trying to sync directly to your home directory (e.g., /home/yourname). That’s not recommended and can cause problems.
The Nextcloud client is not meant to sync into system directories like the entire home folder — doing so may lead to permission issues, recursive syncing, or even data loss.

Instead, you should create a dedicated folder (for example ~/Nextcloud) and set that as your sync destination. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Remove the existing sync connection in the client (if any).
2. Create a new folder for syncing:

   mkdir ~/Nextcloud
   

3. Reconnect the sync and choose this folder as the local destination.

Let us know if that resolves the issue.
