Cannot access my vaults on Nextcloud from Android

Help Android App
1

My Vaults are reachable from MacOS, annd from Windows without trouble.
I have the last version of Cryptomator available on F-Droid (1.11.1).
I am using Nextcloud to store my vaults.
Nextcloud stores files on devices locally.
I configured the vaults on my Android to open the local vaults.
It seemed to work but I cannot see any files and I get this message: An error occurred.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

Enable debug mode, reproduce the problem and send us the log:

Thank you for your message SailReal, but I am using Cryptomator for privacy needs.
I would prefer checking the logs alone and report eventual errors here if I feel the trouble comes from any development.
I am new to Android and do not know where to find such logs.
Can you, please, tell me where I can find them?

Thanks in advance

I know what is my trouble without the logs.
I create my Vaults from MacOS and to avoid standard users to accidentally delete encrypted seen files, I created them with an initial dot (e.g. .vault).
This is not a problem on MacOS and also on Windows but it seems to be one for Android.
I did not currently test it on iOS.
Do you think it would be possible to support this in the future?

Thanks in advance

After GrapheneOS update, I can see my Vault files even if named with a dot as 1st char.
I created a new vault using the same name convention and I had the same error.
After a reboot I was able to open the vault and see my files…
Permissions may be applied only after a reboot on GrapheneOS.
This is ok for me like this.

This case can be closed.

I had the same exact issue and it as Nextcloud’s fault. Nextcloud has a 9 year old still unsolved issue where if you select a folder to sync, only the filed directly in that folder will sync, not ones in the subfolders. So it’s likely your Nextcloud sync isnt actually syncing everything, it only looks like it is. To find out if it is, you have to select “on device” from the hamburger menu and see if all the folders and subfolders you expect to be there actually are.

After finding Nextcloud sync unusable, I installed Autosync (from the play store) and it successfully synced my stuff. (prior to that I tried foldersync and it never finished “analyzing files” after over 24 hours of running, so dont use that). Autosync is paid, but you dont have to use subscription if you dont want integration with all the cloud services. If you just choose one its a one time fee.
