I recently setup a nextcloud working well so far. One of the reasons for using nextcloud was to sync photos made with the iPhone getting rid of iCloud. Unfortunately the synced photos are in jpg, much smaller then the original file, no dng.
I found a post from 2020 about the same issue, which never got an asnwer. So I assue that this is a lack of functionality. Where can I adress this “bug” beside this community?

0. Needs triage
**Describe the bug**
Since 31.0.8 and through 32.0.0, Raw images, in particular … x-dcraw, aren’t being displayed in the photos app.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Upload a raw image
2. Click verify preview with “camerarawpreviews” is generated in files app
3. Click on Photos
4. No raw images display
**Expected behavior**
Prior to 31.0.8, Raw images displayed in Photos app.
**Screenshots**
No screenshots, raw images don’t display. I’ve updated camerarawpreviews to the latest pull request, so raw images display previews in Files, Viewer app registers x-dcraw mimes, but photos isn’t loading any of them. See notes here:

JanisPlayer did a good dive into some coding troubleshooting here:
https://github.com/ariselseng/camerarawpreviews/pull/116#issuecomment-3358692098, and short of modifying the oc_filecache, we ran into a dead end.
Thanks for pointing me to Github.
IMHo there are 3 issues:
jpg upload to nextcloud with a smaller size than the original
dng files uploaded not at all
no preview of the embedded jpg in raw files at all
I solved issue 2 with the app Photosync which allows to upload to Nextcloud via WebDAV, which is of course not what I intended to do.
For the others I will check what’s going on at Github.
