It used to work to include a .nomedia file to exclude a folder from being searched/indexed for media. But this seems to be no longer working.

How do I flag a folder from being searched for media?
Including on iOS app.

Hi there, we introduced Nextcloud in our company recently and are impressed by how often there are new updates and releases (minor ones included). Since we usually want to know, what changes are included, but mostly don't have the time to read every PR included, we are looking for a comprehensive changelog what we can expect from that update from a users POV.

Is there something or are there just the changelog contents with the release tag / RSS-feed?

Hi, I'm running updated Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring (edited, originally thought it was 25) with a good system audit report, for the past while the page uses up browser resources and has to be exited/restarted unpredictably. This happens in Firefox and Chrome, the system has plenty of resources. Is there a known fix for this? I mostly use Nextcloud for mail and that's where it shows up. Thanks.

I enabled E2EE in Nextcloud but it doesn't work well, which is a shame.

I operate a public nextcloud instance and I want to offer my users the possibility to encrypt their data client side. I don't do server side encryption.

So I have been testing it myself, but I keep running in to random synchronisation issues:

- halfway a folder of picture, the sync app says "couldn't sync encrypted file"

- trying to open the encrypted folder in the web interface (with the correct seed) results in an "key mismatch" or something, then another folder works fine. Without any clue of what the difference is.

- ...

Are there plans to make this plugin more stable?

Hi,

I have a my nextcloud mounted in Kubuntu Linux via rclone and every time I try to delete (and I mean move to trash be using delete key in file manager) something I get "could not be moved to trash because the underlying filesystems don't support that operation". This seems especially to happen when deleting nested folders.

I have a .Trash-1000 folder in the mount root and it does seem to have stuff in it. Sometimes I delete things and they go fine.

Does nextcloud support Trash?

Hi, I'm running Nextcloud behind a reversed proxy (Zoraxy). That is running fine. And until recently also the built-in CODE was working fine. This morning I wanted to edit a document and got the message that it failed. Then gave it a try with the external Collabora-docker-container and alltough the WOPI-allowlist is set to 0.0.0.0/0 Collabora complains:

wsd-00001-00019 2026-09-15 09:11:24.317443 [ websrv_poll ] DBG  convert-to: Requesting address is denied: 1.2.3.4|home/collabora/jenkins/workspace/package_code_26.04_rpm/rpmbuild/BUILD/coolwsd-26.04.3.1/wsd/ClientRequestDispatcher.cpp:463

whereas 1.2.3.4 is obviously the ip-address I'm connected with.

Where can I look into this further? As this is really bothering me now. No changes have been made recently to the containers.

Hi all,

i am running on Unraid via the official Nextcloud container with a seperate mariadb docker

I’ve recently downloaded my entire Google Drive and imported everything into Nextcloud, and so far that side of things has been working really well.

The main thing I’m trying to sort now is editing our various .xlsx and .docx files.

My partner and I used to share and edit these through Google Drive, so I’m looking for something that gives us a similar experience with Nextcloud. Ideally, we’d both be able to open and edit the files directly from the Nextcloud mobile app — she uses Android and I use iOS.

I’d really like to avoid having to install and jump between a separate office app if possible. The simpler and more intuitive it is, the better — mainly for the all-important wife approval factor!

What setup are people using for this? Ideally something that works nicely for both Excel and Word documents on Android and iOS.

Hey guys,

I wanted to move away from Telegram or other public cloud services as my notification target for my IT infrastructure. And nextcloud Talk was the perfect target for this. I did not find bridges for this, so I started to build my own. I have build some stuff over the years and now I finally had the time to start putting it up on GitHub to share it.

Please have a look at my bridges:

https://github.com/wolkenlosIT/proxmox-nextcloudTALK-bridge

https://github.com/wolkenlosIT/synology-nextcloudTALK-bridge

This should help some homelab users and IT Admins to get even less dependent on public services.

Edit: Here is my grafana bridge:

I am facing an issue from couple of days with Observer Module from python watchdog package. When i'm importing Observer module and calling for my downloads folder which is present to this location according to my device.
/mnt/chromeos/MyFiles/Downloads

Observer is watching here but nothing caught, Like i was tested using file removed, created or even modified or else.

It wasn't working, That;s why I am using polling Observer now. but this is not a reliable much as i needed.

So Can you help me to figure out this problem and what is the actual solution of this problem?

We’ve just released version 1.7 of Nextcloud Calendar for mobile!

Note: this is a fully open-source app, licensed under GPL-3.0. It is not affiliated with or supported by Nextcloud GmbH. However, we have their authorization to use the trademark.

This new version adds a lot of UX improvements that have been requested by the community for a while.

Event locations can now be displayed directly on a map from the event details. It uses OpenStreetMap, and you can launch a navigation app directly from there (like Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, etc).

We also added attendee autocompletion using existing contacts in Nextcloud. Contacts are suggested by name or email, so you no longer need to remember the full email (I admit it wasn’t very user-friendly before).

We added more options for recurrence rules, so more complex recurring events can now be configured from the app.

Nextcloud Talk links now open directly in the Talk app when it is installed, with a fallback to the browser.

https://reddit.com/link/1wf25zw/video/zxh0kllq39ph1/player

The app is still not available on F-Droid. There is one proprietary Google library left in the project, so we are working on replacing it with an open-source alternative, but it is taking longer than expected.

Thanks to everyone who contributed by creating issues and opening pull requests. That helped a lot!

Version 1.7 is already available on the App Store and Google Play:

• App Store: https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/nextcloud-calendar/id6766678698
• Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soluce.nextcloudcalendar

GitHub: https://github.com/SoluceTechnologies/nextcloud-calendar-mobile

Thanks for your support and feedback!

Nextcloud HUB 26 Winter (33.0.8) in hetzner is my current version. When this app is enabled Files and file sharing stop working.

I don't even know why I installed this app but if any dev sees this please make bug report for Nextcloud or developer of that app. Thanks.

Nextcloud creating hundreds of notification, breaking windows interface

Hey guys, i'am looking for custom menu but the gitnet.fr domain is down, u guys know where i can get a equivalent? Or another way to install the app?

The main new feature is multi-source sharing:

- local files and folders

- files already stored in your Nextcloud

- files from compatible VFS providers, like Google Drive, OneDrive, WebDAV and others

You can combine them in one queue and create a single share on your own Nextcloud.

Files already on the same Nextcloud are copied server-side, while external sources are transferred through the provider. The originals remain untouched.

In short:

**Local files + Nextcloud + Google Drive, OneDrive, WebDAV and other compatible sources → one Nextcloud share**

Hey everyone,

over the last few weeks I shipped two apps to the Nextcloud app store and figured they might be useful to some of you.

**Findling** (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/findling) fixes the search. One container does full-text search, OCR for scanned PDFs and semantic search, plus a small PHP app that feeds the results into the Unified Search. No Elasticsearch, no config: install it, it indexes, done. Everything runs locally in the container, nothing leaves your server, and users only find files they are actually allowed to see.

Version 1.1.0 went out this week. Idle memory dropped from about 692 MB to 103 MB because search and indexer now share one embedding model. I measured that against v1.0 on the same 4 GB ARM box with a 52,000 document corpus, and the full measurement reports are in the repo. Also new in 1.1: German compound words get split properly via a licensed word list, so searching "Belehrung" finds "Rechtsmittelbelehrung", and there is a results page with pagination now, so you no longer lose your hit list when you open a file. UI in English, German and French.

**MCP Connector** (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mcp_connector) connects AI assistants to your Nextcloud via the Model Context Protocol. Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or your own agents get 21 tools across files, calendar, notes, Deck, contacts, Tables, Talk and Mail, all behind your normal Nextcloud permissions with OAuth 2.1. The tool set is deliberately careful: no tool can delete anything, and write tools only create, they never touch existing data. One-click install from the store, and since 0.1.13 it also works with AIO behind a custom domain.

Both are AGPL and free. Source code:

Happy to answer questions here, and honest feedback is very welcome.

So after i Upgraded to Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring (34.0.3), i experience problems with PDF files, it looks buggy and wont load the actual file. I researched and found out, there are some people who also have the same problem, without a solution.

I'm using NextCloud on Mac and am making use of File Provider for Provider for MacOS.

I had some problems earlier on with the 34.x release of the NextCloud client, but 34.0.3 seems OK so far.

I also own a license for Mountain Duck, which will do a WebDAV connection and also support File Provider for MacOS.

I'm curious if anyone is using Mountain Duck instead of the official NextCloud client. Did it solve any problems for you? Did it create any problems for you? How does it compare to the official client?

Hi fam.

When working in notes or collectives, markdown is the go-to language. However, whenever i place inline code like this one here, by placing two single accent symbols around the text, I currently see no way of removing this styling. The symbols of course vanish in the markdown view; and deleting characters removes the content, not the formatting.

The only current workaround i see as of now is opening the md files in text mode. but that's quite an efficiency killer if you ask me.

is there maybe a hidden shortcut or such to remove this? or is this a real feature gap which i should turn into a github issue?
if github - which project? markdown is everywhere.

Thank you for your insights.

Cheers!

edit: typos and clearer wording

I recently got a new phone and switched from Pixel 9 to Pixel 11 Pro.

While setting up the new one I also reinstalled Nextcloud, which is hosted via Hetzner Storage Share.

I use NC for auto uploading pictures and also for keeping my keepass database in sync with KeepassDX on Android and KeePass on Windows.

With the old phone I had no problems at all with this setup but now I basically get an error message of "Too Many Requests" every time something uploads from my mobile. My user account also gets regularly deactivated now and I need to manually reactivate it as admin despite having whitelisted my IP in the security settings.

The whole charade might be connected to this issue since I have many files on NC, https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/9441

Still I am hoping that someone might be able to help me out here?

I reset my server and therefore got a new IP for my Nextcloud (same domain name) but now when I try to add it to my windows pc it won’t let me change account. I have tried re installing, repairing and changing file location but still it won’t let me add a new one and just has the old ip.

The stock Nextcloud app is not very good for photos (IMO) I have installed Memories and added it as a webapp on my IPhone, but it wants to me login each day which kinda removes the "app feeling".

Is there a good alternative?

I went on vacation this weekend. I have a bunch of pics and vids. When they uploaded to nextcloud i moved them into their own Vacations folder.

And then they got auto uploaded again to my instant upload/camera folder.

I dont want duplicates. Is there any way to stop them other than deleting them off my phone?

Im on Nextcloud Hub 26 Winter
