Dear Nextcloud Community,
We are experiencing a reproducible issue with the Nextcloud Desktop Client on Linux (Xubuntu 24.04.4, Client Version 33.0.5) where specific file operations are not being synchronized correctly.
Problem Description: When we copy a file via the web interface or the Windows client and subsequently rename it, the Linux client displays an inconsistent state:
-
We copy an existing file (e.g., AA.odt) → AA - Copy.odt is created
-
We rename AA - Copy.odt to AA - 2.odt
-
The result:
-
Server/Windows Client: AA.odt and AA - 2.odt (correct)
-
Linux Client: AA.odt and AA - Copy.odt (outdated state, AA - Copy.odt continues to exist locally)
-
System Details:
-
Nextcloud Desktop Client: Version 33.0.5
-
Operating System: Xubuntu (Ubuntu Release: 24.04.4 - Kernel 6.17.0-35-generic)
-
Server: Nextcloud Storage Share hosted by Hetzner
Question: Are there any known incompatibilities or bugs regarding the handling of rename and delete events in the Linux version of the Nextcloud client? Has anyone encountered a solution to this issue or workarounds we could try?
We have already contacted the provider, who confirmed that the issue is client-side and not rooted in their infrastructure.
Thank you for your support!
Best regards
