Toot

The latest #Nextcloud Android Update 3.30.1 via #FDroid has a nasty #bug: it syncs all files from server to mobile device without asking. This fills the local storage and eats lots of mobile data.

https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/13738

What can you do?

1. If not updated yet, disable auto updates on F-Droid and don't update until fix bot released

2. If updated, disable the Nextcloud app and wait for a fix

3. Delete synced files at "Device - Android - media - com.nextcloud.client - nextcloud - account - sync"

@rain i sometimes wonder if the nextcloud developers actually use nextcloud themselves, or if they just write code, and release it once it compiles without errors?

either way, thank you for the heads up! ✨

@tethre @rain They definitely have a lot of unsolved issues in development it seems.

@a_lex_ander @rain though i feel it got better over the years, and then somehow dramatically worse this year. and i wonder what led to this 😥

@rain Ended up downgrading my installation because it was just syncing constantly and chewed through my data for the month. :(

@rain why is it taking them so long to either fix it or at least revert the update somehow....

@thibaultmol @rain 3.30.3 is released - it takes F-Droid a couple of days to build the packages...

@thibaultmol @rain They are building from sources. And that either takes some time or it would be too expensive to do that more often.

@kaffeeringe @thibaultmol @rain

Shuffle over some money to FDroid, might help making the process faster.

@rain You can also remove permissions to use mobile data for the app as long as it's not updated.

I wonder, how much this bug cost users. I had to buy another 3 GB for 15€... 😞

@kaffeeringe @rain

It took some 15 GB in 30 minutes for me. Thankfully no more traveling in October.
