Problem: Nextcloud 20.0.9 introduced a bug causing incomplete downloads from external storages using SMB. The issue lies in the Icewind component.

Solution: Download an older version of Nextcloud (20.0.8) and replace the Icewind directory (nextcloud/apps/files_external/3rdparty/icewind)

Problem: Nextcloud Desktop (temporarily) blacklists files that failed earlier. It's located in a hidden sqlite database within each synced folder, e.g. ._sync_abcde1234ef56.db

Solution: Remove the blacklist:

1. Quit the desktop client
2. sqlite3 SyncedFolder/._sync_f84e9c996af0.db
3. delete from 'blacklist';
4. [Ctrl+D] to exit

Problem: While Nextcloud can work with the smbclient package, it seems to need php-smbclient for larger transfers. This package is currently not available as a Debian package in bookworm.

Solution

1. apt install libsmbclient-dev php-dev
2. pecl install smbclient
3. echo "extension=smbclient.so" >> /etc/php/8.2/fpm/php.ini
4. systemctl reload php8.2-fpm
