I am seeing an issue with nextcloud not syncing a file within the folder that should automatically two-way sync. I have found that the file needs to be uploaded to nextcloud in order for syncing to happen, but once it is uploaded, it syncs normally when two way sync is enabled. I don’t think that has anything to do with you’re issues, but it’s food for thought.

It should be saving the file you open to that folder, then. It needs a local copy in some capacity for you to edit it, and that’s where it should be at. Once you’re done editing, it should upload automatically. I should also note that I’m using the F-droid version of nextcloud on android, they did have to make changes to the play store version due to syncing policies from google messing things up.

I both open from nextcloud and from the folder. I did just check my settings, and I have two-way folder sync on the folder that I edit locally. Everything seems to update correctly if it was opened through nextcloud regardless of which folder it’s in, but only the folder I have sync setup on my phone updates if edited locally and only every 15 minutes. I’ll test some more things and check if something isn’t working as I expect. I did notice some settings had been changed and I wasn’t uploading from my phone as expected, so I have some confirmations to do on my end before I can absolutely confirm my phone is working properly.

As far as desktop goes though, I haven’t had any issues with it being unable to sync.

I’m on opensuse/fedora/Debian and haven’t noticed any issues. Libreoffice for my office suite on all of those. Collabora office (not through nextcloud) on my phone.

I have disabled nextcloud office and CODE server because of the troubles it gave me. So all my edits are directly to the the file itself, even on mobile, using a separate editor.

I’ve not had any issues with file syncing on desktop. Android has a few issues due to google screwing with permissions and making it unable to sync all file types through nextcloud, but I don’t recall having any issues with collabora on my phone syncing. Nextcloud does seem to have full file sync permissions in it’s android/media/etc. folder, and that’s where I open my documents from, so if you’re not opening your files from there, maybe that’s the issue.

I’ve rarely had nextcloud office work well, to the point that I’ve given up. That said, it’s supposed to work through the web interface to properly track different users and changes like a google doc. Opening up the file in libreoffice/collabora on desktop is a different process and works just as normally opening a file on your computer, including creating the lock files. I don’t think there’s a way to use a desktop office suite with nextcloud office to leverage the collaborative aspect of it.

Now that I think about it, I don’t think any collaborative office suite has figured that out without it actually being a web app disguised as a desktop app.

Same. I use these drives in a mirrored setup or to hold data that’s replaceable. If they make it a few months without showing errors they might get entrusted to something more important. I’ll shell out for a new drive for my constantly in use drives, luckily I read the warning signs and bought a few 20tb HDDs when ram and SSDs started skyrocketing. I’m kicking myself for not grabbing a few backup m.2 nvme and 2.5” SSDs, because I’m already doing the hardrive shuffle in my mini PCs. I’m fine living life with networked rusty spinners, but I really really don’t want to go back to spinny boot/high throughput drives.

Nextcloud has worked wonderfully for pretty much everything except for the office suite, which almost never works, I’ve heard AIO runs it fine. I’ve just had more useful luck with collabora on my phone and libreoffice on desktop that I’m not willing to fuss about to try and get it to work for the fifth time just for it to break again.

As for installation, I went the nextcloudpi route on a normal PC and haven’t really had any issues that weren’t my own fault. The biggest struggle I had was figuring out what packages I needed to install on a minimal Debian install before I could successfully run the installer.

I did spin up a nextcloudpi lxc container on proxmox since I’m expecting to containerize it in the future and it just started up perfectly along with the normal office suite issues.

Suspiciously so (͡•_ ͡• )

Yes, and works on android 6, which is getting to be quite rare these days.
