"file has changed since discovery" errors + date bug

ℹ️ Support
1

I cannot get rid of the desktop sync error:
“file has changed since discovery”. Tried replacing and renaming files in both server or desktop environment, also downgrading desktop client version. It happens in two of my computers for the same files.

This started happening after desktop client update to 3.2 and briefly enabling virtual files.

Edit: wrong timestamp problem was not related, I fixed it by rescanning files on server side. The main problem persists.

I have been getting the “File has changed since discovery” errors too. The files can be accessed by web just fine, but the desktop client is struggling after enabling Virtual Files

How did you solve this issue? I am getting this as well and do not know how to get rid of it.

Same here.

EDIT:
After removing synchronisation of the folder and setting it up again, it works :tada:

I have this issue as well. I’m using nextcloud and OneDrive synchronize in the same folder. nextcloud generated a lot hidden files, then I exit Onedrive try to let nextcloud synchronization finish first.

I faced the same issue today.
I set up the new nextcloud instance and connected the desktop folder to it ~1 month ago. The desktop client was set to sync everything with virtual files enabled. Today I decided to not sync every folder from the nextcloud (it created Talk and Calendar folders that I didn’t want on my PC) but I didn’t find the checkboxes to remove some folders from sync.
I needed to disable virtual files support to be able to exclude some folders (make checkboxes active). When I connected exactly the same folder (synced before) to exactly the same server with no changes I got more than a thousand “file has changed since discovery” errors. One for each photo.
I tried pausing the sync, removing the folder sync connection, and adding this folder again. It didn’t help. I decided to wait until it finishes scanning all files. It goes on for 3+ hours as I’m writing this post.

Is there any issue created on github regarding this problem?

I realized it should never consider use onedrive and nextcloud in the same folder, their synchronized mechanism are different, one drive will create a lot of hidden files the sync, but nextcloud it’s in different way. Only solutions will be using the app in nextcloud
