Nextcloud Client VFS keeps crashing after like 5 seconds. Please help me. I restarted and reinstalled multiple times also cleaned everything I found with nextcloud but it still doesn’t work.  
Using version 3.16.2

Can’t upload report because its too long and I am not allowed to upload files

I can confirm something similar is happening to me on my MacBook Pro. Especially when I’m working on larger files (150MB+) on a bad connection (on the train)… sometimes it’s no longer possible to even re-start NC VFS after moving files or saving files frequently (e.g. in my case automatic backups every 2 minutes). I’m on the latest stable version of everything (server, client, OS).

Note: sometimes killing and re-starting the Client results in it either appearing already frozen in the task bar, or not even appearing at all (like right now).
