  • When you say “I told it to sync my one drive folder, and it did it’s best” did you install nextcloud desktop and point it at the same folder that was currently syncing onedrive?

    If yes, never do this. You should never layer two sync services that support virtual files over the same folder. The best way migrate to nextcloud is to use the nextcloud apps that connect to one drive and help you migrate.

    Failing that the correct way would be to either set onedrive and nextcloud to sync 2 Seperate folders then copy from the onedrive folder to the nextcloud folder. Or set one drive to download all files, disable it entirely, then install nextcloud syncing with the formerly one drive folder.





  • I had very similar experiences with OCIS. Got it all set up following the quick start guide, found extremely odd and unacceptable behaviour with storage space ballooning, start troubleshooting and find “oh you had to do this, this and this manually, it’s in the docs” It is in the docs, but never referenced by any other part of the docs. Because why would you mention the thing that the admin must manually set up in 100% of installs in your setup guide?

    Anyway I’ve become that guy ranting on the internet that I don’t want to be. So just so you don’t suffer as much as I did; you have to create scheduled tasks via cron or your preference of scheduler to clean your uploads folder and data blobs. This also did not fix my specific issue and I ended up giving up on OCIS and sticking to Nextcloud.
