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.

      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

      As someone who uses nextcloud exclusively for calDAV and cardDAV, what replacements are recommended?

      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.

        The trick is to wait several point releases before updating. This makes it much more stable.

        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
