Nextcloud app UI no console access, need to sync files manually copied in the backend

So I transferred files from the backend of my server in explorer in windows since the transfer was faster (ie: 30 mins for 2gig vs 10 hrs via web client) and found out that I need to sync the files to the database. I watched a youtube video doing this sort of thing, but he opened the console on the web app and sync’d the files using

sudo nextcloud.occ files:scan –path username/files/folder to sync

However I cannot find the option to input console commands on the windows app, and in my cloud server using console commands for the docker’s don’t seem to work either. How else can I sync my files so that they show up in the web view?

Depends which docker you used, but their manual usually say how to pass occ commands:
