It is a little concerning that moving the whole folder watched by the Nextcloud desktop client can cause behaviour such as this however - I would have expected it to realise something had gone wrong and flagged this before proceeding with deleting everything. It would be nice if the Desktop Client developers could rectify this behaviour.

Re: I want to start collaborating
Hello Alessandro, Sounds good! I would recommend reading through https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development and seeing what strikes your fancy. There are many possible entry points. More generally, we encourage "scratching your own itch". What issues bother you about the KDE software that you regularly use? Bugs? Awkward workflows? Strangely-phrased text? Inappropriate icons? Features you'd like to see? Those are the things you're going to have the motivation to look into and try fixing. Welcome, and good luck!

Hi, I apologise. I'm pretty sure that was me. I use the Nextcloud desktop client most of the time and made the double mistake of moving (instead of copying) several files and folders (when I only wanted to copy one) using Dolphin. I must've distractedly selected a folder containing my _collaborate_ shared folder and then scrolled down so it was off screen, and then selected the file I really wanted to copy while holding down Ctrl . I have no idea what I was thinking. I thought I had caught it in time when I realised something was not right and before any major damage was done. I killed the process and stopped the synch and even erased the account from the client so it wouldn't try and resume synching when I restarted the client. But clearly I was not fast enough. Either way, I am deeply embarrassed and very sorry for the trouble I have caused and will be extra cautious from now on.
