Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don’t have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I’ll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,
What is the issue with syncing with nextcloud? What kind of files?
Nextcloud hosts whatever kind of files. IRS like a Google Drive, One Drive, Box, etc. I use it primarily for my audio book collection so that it doesn’t use up all of my phone space.
The issue is that nextcloud sometimes behaves in an unexpected way with file changes initiated on Android. Sometimes large files (like audio book files) placed into my phones local nextcloud folder don’t automatically upload to the server. I have to do extra steps in the app. It seems to work as expected with small files. From what I understand/interpret the file access API is not a favorable design for supporting an external (non-google ) cloud service. OE Nextcloud just doesn’t care about Android.
