I wanted to upload a relatively large file (a video) to Nextcloud, but it kept stopping (it was well within the upload size limits). After trying several times and failing, I decided to try to upload it directly into the file system, not using Nextcloud.
That succeeded without problems.
So now I have the situation that the file is sitting in the correct Nextcloud files folder, BUT Nextcloud doesn’t “see” it. It doesn’t know it’s there.
I can well imagine why that is the case: probably Nextcloud creates an index entry, etc. etc. when it uploads files, and since I didn’t use Nextcloud to do the upload, it doesn’t have such an index entry for the file.
But I am curious: do you know of any way to create that entry? To “incorporate” the file into the Nextcloud file system so that it “sees” it?
Thanks,
John
