Spreadsheet Files Appear with Strange Names on Client

A Nextcloud user is experiencing an issue where spreadsheet files (.ods and .xlsx) are being renamed on the client computer with unusual names.

A Nextcloud user reports that spreadsheet files (.ods and .xlsx) are being renamed on their client computer, resulting in names like “.name.extension.~letters-digits-combinaton”.

The server displays the files with their correct names, and comparisons reveal the files are identical except for the altered local file names.

The Nextcloud client displays two entries per file: one indicating the file name is on a deny list, and another showing a ‘Windows Error: 5: access denied’ message.
