Murena Workspace/Nextcloud/Linux Mint bulk uploading issues
I am running Linux Mint 22.3 which has a built-in Nextcloud client (version 3.11). This client does not work with Murena Workspace.
From what I can tell I am running into the bulk upload problems described here:
There is no workaround for this in my version of the Nextcloud client. But it is possible to disable the bulk loading feature on the Nextcloud server:
NextCloud ‘fixed’ these by disabling bulk uploading in the desktop client version 3.16.3.
I finally resolved this by removing the pre-installed nextcloud client version 3.11 and installing the latest (Nextcloud-4.0.6-x86_64.AppImage).
But this is really a pity, ideally Linux Mint works ‘out of the box’ with Murena, as it is a nice Linux distribution for people who want to move away from Microsoft Windows (and possibly also OneDrive/Outlook, etc). For example, Repair Cafe Linux is giving Windows 10 laptops a new life by upgrading to Linux Mint.
Maybe Murena can investigate disabling bulk loading on the Nextcloud Server ? It does not appear that newer NextCloud clients re-enabled the bulk loading feature anyway.
