Syncing client crashes with "Network Error:99"

I’ll join in.

Files created on the client will not be synced to the server, client log show “Network Error 99”

Everything freshly setup on Friday in a new Ubuntu 22.04 LXD container, mostly following

Everything else seems to be working fine.

Apache proxy config on the gateway container is

I have been hitting “Network Error 99” and the Desktop client freezing up since upgrading to NextCloud 25. I finally found a fix discussed in GitHub issue 5094, in summary this is what fixed it for me:

  • On the client, disable any upload speed limits
  • On the server, edit config.php to add the line 'bulkupload.enabled' => false,

From the discussions on GitHub, it sounds like the upload speed limit and bulk upload features are buggy in the latest server/desktop releases.

Hello,

I have the problem of these errors 99 on a fresh install.

This solved it for me perfectly. Had to wait forever for Nextcloud to revalidate the sync, but then it suddenly finished and got the big green checkmark.

great ! Works for me too !

Why is this still not fixed? I also had this problem.

Works for me as well. This problem still exists.

I have the same problem, I cannot find a solution and PLUS since I’ve installed Nextcloud I have a lot of problems with windows app icons and preview of a lot of files in other windows apps.
I already wrote to Nextcloud with their website form but no-one still answered me… I’m so upset!

This DOES work, HOWEVER, it make the transfer of small files very slow. Seems like there is probably a better solution.

this was really good and everything was solved.
thanks!
