Bug description

I am using the latest version of nextcloud client: Nextcloud desktop client 3.15.2 and macOS 15.2 (24C101)

I noticed the nextcloud "status icons" (e.g. those green check marks) in Finder suddenly stopped working. When disabling all File providers in system settings, and restarting Finder they re-appeared again. As soon as I re-enabled 1 of them again (randomly, and I've check a few), those icons dissappeared again (after finder restart).

Steps to reproduce

1. Install a an app that has a "File provider" extension, such as e.g. "Adobe CC Core Sync", "Service station" or "Supercharge".
2. Check Finder

Expected behavior

I'ld expect those icons to still be visible.

Hi, could you confirm if you are using the VFS client or the standard client on macOS? Thanks!

@claucambra , I have no idea...

In the app that runs in the menu bar, I can open a "Nextcloud settings" window, and in the "General" tab (with a cog icon) I can see Nextcloud desktop client 3.15.3 under the info pane. That window does not look/feel like the typical "real" MacOS apps, it feels like it's Java.

Is this info sufficient or do you need more info? If so, can you please specify what you need? Thx!

I might have the same or have an at least similar issue: Nextcloud desktop client 3.15.3 on MacOS Sequoia 15.3 (on an M2 MacBook Air), but even with no other file providers activated Finder doesn’t display Nextcloud status icons, and neither does Finder provide Nextcloud’s menu items in Finder’s context menu. Any idea?
