I recently installed a Nextcloud 23 using best practices and the installation itself seems to work as it should. Trying to sync files to it with Windows 3.4.1 client is inconsistent and doesnāt work properly.
Only some files get sent up, I have folders with inconsistent content etc which is - of course - a horrifying concept, the whole point of storing stuff in Nextcloud is to store everything, not 70%. This stuff - these literal files - synced just fine against my previous version 20 install, with this client.
Is there some known issues with version 23 and the Windows sync client? Because this is scaring the shit out of me, these are files I need to know get synced when changed.
Iāve tried deleting the files in the Nextcloud instance, Iāve tried deleting the local folder, I tried deleting the client and manually erasing any folder named Nextcloud from program files, appdata, localappdata etc - this still doesnāt reliably sync. I set it up fresh, and with no content in the local directory or in the Nextcloud itself, dropped in a couple of gigabytes of data in a half dozen folders. It seems to sync fine, and when I check via the web interface, itās hit or miss, some folders are up there, some are not.
Even locally, some folders (when looking in the 3.4.1 interface of folders, selected manually for sync) the folder can say 0 bytes, but right-clicking on it via Explorer and choosing properties it says 10 megabytes.
Iām not sure where the issue is at this point but Iām very very leery of this whole setup now. So happy this is just my own hobbyist install, if this happened in a corporate setup I was support it would really suckā¦
Iām all for ābulk uploadā improvements, but if those come with fragility, not so much.
