I am trying to sync my Onedrive folder as my designated Nextcloud folder on my Windows 10 desktop. When I do this the Nextcloud Desktop for Windows app crashes. I would like to have both Onedrive and Nextcloud backing up my Documents folder. Is there a way around having it crash or is there a best practice for accomplishing what I am trying to do?

Here is the crash even from the Windows event viewer log:

The issue you are facing:

See above.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N):
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Nextcloud for Desktop app a few times. When I leave the folder to sync as the default (“Nextcloud”), the app does not crash. When I choose the Onedrive folder to sync, the Windows app crashes.

Steps to replicate it:

  1. It crashes on start up after it displays a few notifications.
