Endless Stream of File Upload Conflict Notifications

I’ve recently upgraded from Owncloud to Nextcloud and proceeded to upgrade the app on my device.

I have several thousand pictures that have been synchronized using the instant upload feature on Owncloud. I re-configured the client on Nextcloud to use the same folder that Owncloud did so that I would not have duplicate folders.

However that did not work as expected, and it seems that Nextcloud is attempting to re-upload the entire local folder on the device to the server. There are notifications asking me which file to keep because Nextcloud client thinks there is a conflict. This behavior is different from the desktop clients which did not have this problem.

There is no option to tell the Android client to “Do this for all conflicts”. I have to go through each notification one by one. There are over 4,000 pictures.
