Hi,

One of these commands should be enough.
What you can do in addition, check the ownership of the newly copied files. When you moved/ copied the files to the Nextcloud data folder, there is a chance they kept the old ownership, which is not www-data. In that case Nextcloud might skip these files, because the file ownership/ permission is not correct or because it just can’t read the files.
