@r0se@luana minor correction on the nextcloud client: assuming you're using virtual files, the file may exist only on the server and not on the client. that said, VFS support is okay on windows, spotty as hell on macOS (it hacks the icloud VFS backend iirc), and non-existent on linux (unless you like .nextcloud stub files everywhere)
these problem likely wouldn't be solved by other solutions, but so long as it's more stable then i'd be happy
