The issue you are facing: When attempting to sync my entire (remote) instance using my Windows desktop’s (local) client, I get the “.sync-exclude.lst: The downloaded file does not match the checksum, it will be resumed.” error message.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): N

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Have a nextcloud instance
  2. Try to sync the entire instance to a local folder using the Nextcloud desktop app for Windows
  3. Get the error message

Steps attempted to solve the issue (neither worked):

  1. Manually create an empty exclude file (as I don’t have any exclusions regardless)
  2. Try to exclude *.lst
