The issue you are facing:

Me and my wife are using nextcloud clients on windows.

There are 2 users :

  • Me : Sharing a music folder with my wife account
  • My wife account : The windows client nextcloud says the music folder has been shared. But it never appears. how is it possible with a fresh install ? Its the most basic possible usage of nextcloud and it just not work…

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): No

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Install Nextcloud on a server
  2. Create 2 users
  3. Share a doc from the first user to the second user
  4. See the doc not being sync with the nextcloud client…
