[Bug]: Couldn't update placeholder info #5791
Comments
Today the same problem reappeared... I have to uninstall than re-install nextcloud |
I am facing the same issue, any updates? |
No, on my side the only way is uninstall, restart the pc and re-install again the software. |
I used bulk crap uninstaller to uninstall and deleted all the nextcloud app related files, the issue still pops up sadly, will try to do that once more. |
Reading on several sites seems the issue is relative to the desktop client but unlucky I did not understand in which way. |
There is a PR #5890 which will likely fix the problem you describe. |
I have the same issue but the original error message: Couldn't update placeholder info. This has happened when I wanted to "Always keep on this device" for folders with Gb of data. I believe this happened AFTER the last release was automatically installed, as the first thing I check now when I get weird client errors if is there is an update and I had already been up to date with Version 3.9.1 (Windows). I can try to reinstall it but that is the most I can do on the client end. All our IT is on vacation until after August 16th locally (and does not offer support in any case for Nextcloud, it's "just a service" offered to enable university employees to have access to cloud storage - maybe @SCD-Aix-Marseille-Universite knows who manages AMUbox, but I don't know where to turn). |
I have the same issue, except it only affects some of my pictures that are auto-uploaded from my phone. Newer PDF's and even some instant upload photos are fine, and there seems to be no issues. |
I have the same issue. I checked the access logs on Nextcloud for the files where the message appears and there is no entry. Therefore the problem should be in the Nextcloud client. A force resync does not change anything. Windows 11 22H2 |

Same problem - happens to me as well - all I can do is remove all data, delete everything, uninstall, re-install. and losing a day of my life. |
I have this issue as well. For me it is affecting me on hidden files from mac and Thumbs.db I ended up deleting the ._ files and renaming the various Thumbs.db to Thumbs-bak.db, and that cleared the errors... for now. |
Same problem. Had to delete files causing the error from the cloud. |

Nextcloud Client 3.8.2 Using virtual files plugin: wincfapi
Last month the client stopped to sync and received back a lot of these errors:

Following an advice from the community I reinstalled it

But now after a couple of months, this morning I have the same issue.
I checked if I close nextcloud client and restart the file are shown but if I try to open or keep on device a file I receive the error:
Make sure Nextcloud is running on your PC, then try again
Obviously Nextcloud is running
