Unable to open file locally from Collabora "Could not validate the request to open a file from server."

I’m really not sure if this is a Collabora, Nextcloud, or Nextcloud desktop client issue, but when I attempt to “Open file locally” I get a prompt from the Nextcloud Desktop Client “Could not validate the request to open a file from server.”

I’m running NextCloud Docker AIO 30 with NGINX, Nextcloud Desktop Client 3.14.0 for Windows.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open a document from Files
  • Select “Open in local editor”
  • Select “Open locally”
  • Accept the browser application prompt “Open NextCloud”
  • Error message is then produced from Desktop Client and no file is opened.

Any clues where to get started troubleshooting? All other functionality seems perfectly good so far.

I got the same issue. I’m working in MacOS Client and by the way I think it’s since the last update.

I am also getting this issue on Nextcloud 29. I have the windows desktop app installed and need to edit gcode locally but i get the same error message.

I managed to resolve my issue by downgrading the Desktop app to 3.13.3. Syncs are now fast, problem-free, and I can also open documents locally via Collabora
