Hi,

I’m not sure if this has been brought up before. Apologies if it has.
For the last 3 months I haven’t been able to get any instant uploads from the iOS app. The files seem to get enqueued, but they’re spinning and not uploading. Desktop uploads work fine, this is only a problem with instant uploads. On the server side, the files seem to be “allocated” (as if they have been created as empty placeholders with the correct name) but they are also spinning as if they are in the process of being uploaded.

Any ideas? I can send a screenshot if it would be useful.
Thanks.

@r3m3dy Thank you very much for reporting the issue. The debug log would help to investigate what’s going on. Here you can find more information:
https://doc.owncloud.com/ios-app/ios_troubleshooting.html

You can send it to ios-app<at>owncloud.com

I’ll email you the debug log now from the new app. Thanks!

Btw, last night I tried the old iOS app as well, and all uploads went through…

I am also seeing this problem. Any way to force those that seem to be stuck and restart? The only option I see at the moment is to uninstall the add and start over.

Please enable “Diagnostics” in the Setting, then swipe-left the stuck item. You’ll see an “Info button”

Then share this information with apps-<at>-owncloud.com

This will help the team to fix the root problem.

As a workaround, you can use the “Reschedule” button on that page.
