Nextcloud - how to restore many deleted files
-
We recenly switched from Dropbox to Nextcloud (ca. 30 users).
Some user today accidentally deleted many files and folders (from group folders in Nextcloud).
We see deleted files/folders in "Deleted files" sections, but we can only select individual files/folders, or select all files for restoration.
We want to retore files deleted today (or today, after time hh:mm)Question: Is there a way to simply restore many files at once in Nextcloud (but not entire history of deleted files)?
Dropbox have tool to "Rollback" to certain point in time, but I don't see similar option in Nextcloud.
So far we can only select individual files/folders, but it will take a lot of time. -
I don't believe there is a mass restore function. You'll likely need to do something like this through the cli.

@DustinB3403 Thank you.
I must say that I am a bit disappointed with Nextcloud. This should be normal feature.
We already had few serious issues with it (bugs with mainstream Intel GPU never solved etc.) but we switched to it due to pricing advantage.
However, I can't say it is as reliable as Dropbox, so far. -

@JasGot It's free (FOSS). We are just paying for hosting it.

@JasGot Are you trying to say something I don't get or what?

It's a free product with paid support available that you are not using. Keep your demands and expectations in check. You'll experience less stress.

"Basic" paid official support would cost us more then Dropbox, and it still would not solve this problem with missing feature.
I don't think that being FOSS is excuse for missing this feature. -

We had issue with Windows client not working on Intel UHD620 GPU. Bug was reported in 11/2018 on Github, and was marked as "Closed" with comment "this is clearly something deep in Qt or the drivers, nothing much we can do about it. Closing it at last." after 2 years

Does anyone here offers support for Nextcloud or some kind of managed Nextcloud servers?
(yesterday we solved this problem manually so I am asking for future, not for this problem specifically) -

(yesterday we solved this problem manually so I am asking for future, not for this problem specifically)Are you looking for someone who can offer support that includes a Bulk Recovery option?

How is NC interacting with the GPU at all? That's very strange. You have this in a VM, right?

Google doesn't have that, either. We had customers learn that the hard way!

Totally free. We run it here, too.

Who HAS this feature? The biggest player on the market doesn't have it.
You can always restore from backup as a means to something like this. I think that that is the intended way back. That's something that big closed source players lack.

@scottalanmiller I'm pretty sure Dropbox, MS etc all have a "select all and recover" type option.
I'd have to look again but I'm pretty sure this is a feature.

MS does not. We had MS lose data and they have no recovery mechanism at all. DropBox might.
