Server: new installation of nextcloud-files 11.02 from https://repo.morph027.de/nextcloud on Debian Jessie. PHP 5.6.30

Client: existing Thunderbird 45.8.0 with SOGo 31.0.0 also on Debian Jessie

Used Nextcloud web GUI and Thunderbird address book for testing. Created contact on each; synced to other OK. Renamed contact on each; synced to other OK. Deleted contact on each; synced from Thunderbird to web GUI OK; did not sync from web GUI to Thunderbird (contacts no longer listed in web GUI remained visible in Thunderbird).

Nextcloud debug logging enabled but no messages generated when syncing contacts.

I have the same issue.

After my SD-Card crashes it’s not possible to sync the data from Thunderbird (52.2.1) to Nextcloud (12).
In my Thunderbird-Addressbook is still have all the contacts but they are not synchronize with my server.

Where are all the contacts stored on the server. For all my data i use a external usb-storage.
Do i have to scan contacts like i do with the normal files.

sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --all

Is it possible to push the synchronization manually?

Could you export the contacts from TB to a vcard file, then use the web interface of NC’s Contacts to import them? I did this the other day using the CardBook extension (not SoGo).

Hello! The synchronisation isn’t related to the contacts app. This app is just a vcard reader/editor with some nice functions integrated with nextcloud. Please open an issue directly on https://github.com/nextcloud/server. :slight_smile:
