Freezing when syncing thousands of files on the windows client

Hi I am trying to sync a few thousand small files a few MB each and the desktop app seems to lock up and not sync. Sometimes I can click the taskbar icon and get it to popup and it will have a bunch of 399 errors. Then the log is filled with these lines:

Which client version are you using?

3.14.1 which is the latest at the moment I believe. I was able to make some progress in narrowing down the issue. I disabled bulkupload on the server and then everything uploaded fine but slowly (1 at a time).

There are some issues with Nextcloud client v3.14.x

Try to use the older version 3.13.4
Download here - Release Release 3.13.4 · nextcloud-releases/desktop · GitHub
It works fine for me.

I am getting some similar errors on 3.14.1, is this related?

Yes.
Try to downgrade.

I had the same issue with the Nextcloud client v3.14.3. Downgrading to the 3.13.3 works perfectly ! Thank’s a lot !
