We are planning to upgrade from 18.0.14 to the latest version of nextClould (which seems to be 20.0.4 according to github releases but on the website there is also a version 21.0.0). Is there anything to watch out for when doing such a big version-jump? Will it (most likeley) just work? Any tips on how to make sure we have a seamless upgrade are very welcome. Thank you very much!
Here is some more information about our current installation that might be helpful to answer the question.
- We are also using the Groupfolders addon.

- we have this warning on the nextCloud settings page:
MySQL is used as database but does not support 4-byte characters. To be able to handle 4-byte characters (like emojis) without issues in filenames or comments for example it is recommended to enable the 4-byte support in MySQL. For further details read the documentation page about this.
