There are some serious issues with the new Nextcloud integration, introduced with 3.3.0 Rokua (Xperia X, Nextcloud 18.0.3):

• Account creation worked after disabling calendar synchronization only.
• Share to nextcloud doesn't work reliably: in most cases the sharing selection stays blank (without any option to share to). However, sometimes it works, and I was able to share a photo to nextcloud.
• If the sharing selection shows any options, my nextcloud account appears twice in the list.
• It's unclear if nextcloud contact integration is intended to replace carddav synch. I am unable to find any signs of nextcloud synchronization in the contacts app.
• Backup to nextcloud fails with the message "Sync error: , details:" in the logfile.
• Sharing or synchronizing notes should work. But I am unable to install the Notes ("Notizen") app from Jolla store. Maybe an updated app version is necessary?

In its current state, nextcloud integration seems to be in an early experimental state. Far from being useable to be honest.

• There is no indication you've entered incorrect credentials. Only sharing fails with an "Oops, uploading didn't work"-error.
• There is no option to change credentials after account creation. It looked to me as if credentials were checked when creating the account, but this appeared not the case.
• Only Photos on the Nextcloud instance are accessible. Accessing documents and other files is not possible. (afaik)
• Sharing a photo to NC, and then immediately view it in Gallery app resulted in a broken preview image in Gallery (only upper half visible), possibly because uploading or server-side processing was still in progress. (My NC instance is running on a very slow machine, AMD E-450)

Don't get me wrong. Nextcloud integration is the right direction from a data protection and security perspective, it suits the Jolla/Sailfish philosophy very well. But integration is more than photo and notes upload. There are native apps that do two-way nextcloud folder synchronization very well. Wouldn't it be much better to integrate such (existing) functionality into the OS? Am I expecting too much?
