Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can :heart:

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 23.0.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Debian 11 (Bullseye)
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Nginx 1.18.0
PHP version (eg, 7.4): 7.4.25

The issue you are facing:
The issue is that not all files are updated on the server that appear in the designated sync-folder on the desktop.
I have a newly installed Nextcloud instance running 23.0.1.
On my desktop, I am running the Nextcloud Desktop Client Version 3.4.2 (Arch).
I am able to use this same desktop client with Nextcloud servers running different versions and have not encountered this issue until using a 23.x version of Nextcloud.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Create or move a file into desktop sync-folder.
  2. Desktop either copies it to the server or not.
  3. Even tried a fresh folder with rsyncing the files to it, but problem still occurs.
  4. The files are on the desktop but not on the server.

I am having the same issue!

First of all you should try a desktop client, wich works reliable e.g. version 3.3.6 or older. - Version 3.4.x still seems not to work properly.
