Nextcloud Client Fix Chunking CloudFlare

Windows Fix

Press Win+R on your keyboard to open the Run application. Past the following in the dialog box:

%APPDATA%\Nextcloud\nextcloud.cfg

This will either ask you to pick an application to open nextcloud.cfg or will open in your default text editor (unless you have something else set to open .cfg files). If it asks you to pick an application, feel free to use Notepad or any other editor.

Add the following line under the [General] section:

maxChunkSize=50000000

Save the file, quit Nextcloud desktop, and start it again.

MacOS Fix

Open a Finder window and press Command+Shift+G on your keyboard. This will bring up a 'Go to folder' window. Paste the following in the dialog box:

$HOME/Library/Preferences/Nextcloud

Open the nextcloud.cfg file. If you do not have a default editor for .cfg files, feel free to open the file with TextEdit.

Add the following line under the [General] section:

maxChunkSize=50000000

Save the file, quit Nextcloud desktop, and start it again.

Linux Fix

Open a terminal window and edit the following file:

nano $HOME/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg

Add the following line under the [General] section:

maxChunkSize=50000000
