Summary of the issue you are facing:

[I see that we can upload files. However, this is going to take a long time if I have to create (recreate) each folder and subfolders so I can then upload my files into them]

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. I don’t see an option to upload an entire folder.

N/A

Nextcloud

Please provide the log entries from your Nextcloud log that are generated during the time of problem (via the Copy raw option from Administration settings->Logging screen or from your nextcloud.log located in your data directory). Feel free to use a pastebin/gist service if necessary.

PASTE HERE

Firefox 134.0 (aarch64) (Mac)

If the problem is related to the Web interface, open your browser inspector Console and Network tabs while refreshing (reloading) and reproducing the problem. Provide any relevant output/errors here that appear.

PASTE

Web server / Reverse Proxy

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

PASTE HERE

Configuration

Nextcloud

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

PASTE HERE

Apps

The output of occ app:list (if possible).

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

You can upload folders with a netshare on both MAC and Windows. You then do not have to work with the browser.
This is in docs.nextcloud.com described.
Make a share with https:\example.com\remote.php\dav\USER
You have to make this service available in the config and httpd settings on your server.

Ok, I’ll have to talk to Start9 about this.

Thanks again.
