I am running grapheneos and got nc from fdroid if it matters. I also use nc on my local network only.

So I could not find logs that pointed to any specific file giving the errors. Still I took the advice that it might have to do with file names. That made me suspect it had to do with my music folder which has some foreign music, so i renamed files with a special character. So far it seems that was it. This was odd because those files have been there and synced for a while, but the message was not happening until recently. Still wanted to update in case someone else has this issue there is some resolution that might be helpful.

So I couldn't really find what are the offending filenames, but they were from the music folder. I guess I didn't mention that that was the most recent folder I set as a two way sync. I get most of my music from yt-dl and naturally wanted to have it on both my laptop and phone. I since have discovered Power Ampache 2 . It is a music player and it can just stream and download your music on your Next Cloud. So far it works well and I have no more errors regarding filenames as I no longer need the Next Cloud app to do a two way sync.

This is the way! Slowly replace Nextcloud components with better things until you're no longer dependent on it

    I agree. In principle Nextcloud is a great idea and project but it has a lot of issues that make maintaining a pain. I had it for over 2 years and at every update it was painfull. I gave up and moved to Syncthing+Radicale. Is there something I miss? Yes, the ability to share as Syncthing doesn't allow sharing.

    Syncthing doesn’t allow sharing Like, between users? You can set up a shared folder with that user, although I know it's not the same.

    I've recently been made aware of Copyparty, which is a web GUI for serving files, with great access control, and the main dev reported people have been running it over a Syncthing-synced directory without any issues. Has an Android app too. I don't have any need for sharing over HTTP right now, but if I did, that would be my go-to.

    What to use for Calendar and Contacts management?
    Yes I know about Radicale, I'm talking desktop UI wise because fuck doing any substantial event organizing on a phone.

    What should I use if I just want dumb file storage that is accesible from any device (linux/windows/android) remotely? I'm already self hosting a media server if that matters

    If you don't need a web GUI, just WebDAV is a good protocol, nginx can serve files over it. SFTP is good too.

    Here's a tutorial for WebDAV / Docker, it boils down to one command. No databases, performance issues, security nightmares.

    Depends on which functions of NC you're using.

    Personally, I found thst no-one used the gallery, calendar or contacts apps in NC, so I replaced it all with radicale and syncthing.

    But if you're using all the collaboration stuff, then you'll need to look into it a bit more.

    For me, NC was way overkill, nightmare to maintain and an extra layer of software (ie vulnerabilities) exposed to the interwebs thst I didn't need
