I recently uploaded a folder that is about 24 GiB to my Nextcloud server and have been attempting to sync it onto another PC and it was syncing extremely slowly. Often in the single digits of KiB/s, even on the same local network as the server.
In attempt to speed up the process, I SFTPed as root into the server and manually transferred all of the files to the client PC as that could clearly be done much faster than the Nextcloud client, but now the Nextcloud client is still trying to sync all 24 GiB, even though they’re already there. I’m assuming it’s just overwriting them, copying the exact same files over again, and it’s still at abominable speeds.
Is there a way to signal to the client or server that these files I have are the same files as are already on the server so it doesn’t attempt to re-sync them?
