Hello everyone. I have installed Nextcloud Desktop Client and Nautilus. I use Nextcloud on a different local account thus I don’t want it to be startet automatically. But everytime I start Nautilus it automatically starts Nextclound and asks for user account data.
How can I disable this autostart behaviour?
From what I see nextcloud nautilus integration is done as nautilus python extension (at least on my debian unstable as shown below).
# apt install nautilus-nextcloud
# dpkg -L nautilus-nextcloud
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/nautilus-nextcloud
/usr/share/doc/nautilus-nextcloud/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/nautilus-nextcloud/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/nautilus-nextcloud/copyright
/usr/share/nautilus-python
/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions
/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/syncstate-Nextcloud.py
The nextcloud python extension is loaded when nautilus is started (which is expected behavior). And from the ps output it appears that nextcloud client runs in background (/usr/bin/nextcloud --background). So, it should happen only the first time nautilus is started.
Maybe, you can install the python extension in per user nautilus extension dir and uninstall the nautilus-nextcloud package.
Thank you for your answer. But I must say, that it does not helped.
I should have added, that I am on fedora 42.
Also I should add, that I installed nautilus normally via default install and nextcloud as a flatpak.
Thank you for the suggestion. I remember the problem now:
Yes, that works, but as far as I can tell, the build in Nextcloud support only syncs on demand.
I would like to be able use the files even when I am offline.
This is usually just a nice to have, so I think I am trying the build in solution for now.
I’m not sure if this is expected behavior.
gnome-online-accounts only plays the role of storing accounts and credentials for other applications (or services).
In the case of Nextcloud files, this is a WebDAV service supported by Gvfs, which doesn’t support syncing remote files unfortunately, just access.
