File Manager integration not working about linux HOT 8 CLOSED

Ok thanks a lot for your time.

Hi @Suzie97,

The Nextcloud item in the File Manager should appear, as soon as you configured your Nextcloud account. To do so, simply start the "Nextcloud desktop sync client" from the Applications menu in elementary and login to your Nextcloud server.

FWIW: The creation of the files mentioned in the Troubleshooting section should no longer be necessary, since the underlying bug has been fixed in the nextcloud-client.

Will close the issue, feel free to reopen if the problem persists.

I opened the Nextcloud client and logged in to my cloud provider account. It still didn't appear in the files app.

Then I created the files mentioned in the trouble shooting section and it still does not work.

mhm, thats weird. Which version of elementary OS do you use? Can you post a screenshot of System Settings > System > Operating System and the output of nextcloud --version from your Terminal?

I am using Elementary 5.1.7 Hera

I used to use the flatpak version of nextcloud desktop sync client. Before installing the ppa, I removed that flatpak.

But the configuration for the flatpak is still there. Is it related to this issue?

looks good to me, the needed fix is essentially in nextcloud-desktop v2.6.3 ("Install libcloudproviders files by default on debian") - therefore you should be fine with the installed PPA version.

But the configuration for the flatpak is still there. Is it related to this issue?

Maybe, but I'm not sure. Personally I always used the PPA version and after the fix was released, it worked every time on a fresh install on Hera. Can you try to completely uninstall Nextcloud on your box (Flatpak as well as Apt version), remove the files you created manually and do a fresh install from PPA?

If that still does not fix the problem, you might want to open an issue at elementary/files - maybe we are dealing with some sort of regression here. Unfortunately I can't help that much, because I'm already running the preview release of elementary 6 - and here the problem does not exist.
