Nextcloud version _(eg, 20.0.5)_: `22.2.3`-Stable  
Operating system and version _(eg, Ubuntu 20.04)_: `TrueNAS 12.0 STABLE`  
Apache or nginx version _(eg, Apache 2.4.25)_: `nginx 1.20.1`  
PHP version _(eg, 7.4)_: `php 7.4.25`

The issue you are facing:  
Cant save Excel files with size larger than 10MB, indicating “Sharing Violation”

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? _(Y/N)_:  
YES  
Steps to replicate it:

1. Save Excel file size morethan 10MB to Nextcloud folder
2. Edit excel and save.
3. Error will occur (Sharing violation, Try saving to a different file.

The output of your Nextcloud log in **Admin \> Logging** :

Note: my current solution is pause the sync before saving then resume.
