User can no longer upload files. Probably an encryption problem

Nextcloud version: 14.0.3
Operating system and version: NextCloudPi 0.66.4
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25):
PHP version : 7.2

The issue you are facing:

Since an update of NCPi one (and only one) user can no longer upload any file. The Next-Cloud Desktop App throws this a cryptic “Connection Lost” or “Operation terminated” (freely translated von “Verbindung beendet” und “Operation abgebrochen”).
I can access all files I had uploaded before the problem first appeared. If I upload a file via the Android App or the Web-Interface, no error is thrown, but the uploaded file cannot be opened.

From the error message I read, that apparently the encryption is busted. Any idea what I can do?
All other users are fine and I think, if I just create another user I should be fine, but I kinda don’t want to have to repeat this in future.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Login with the affected user and try to upload a file
