Problem with wallet location inside synced Nextcloud folder on Linux

[heronimoo]

I'm trying to move my Monero GUI Wallet from a Windows 11 machine to a Linux machine - and I need to keep all labels and descriptions. My understanding is that I should be able to simply copy over the two files inside the wallet directory (one .keys and one without a filetype). On Windows, these files are stored inside a synced Monero Nextcloud folder. The idea is to have automatic backups of these files. (I would have thought I could even use that location from both clients (not concurrently), but I don't really need that.)

On Linux now, the files can be used correctly if I store them inside a subfolder of the default folder, i.e. /home/user/Monero/wallets/Wallet-from-Win. But if I store them inside the synced Nextcloud folder, i.e. /home/user/Nextcloud/Wallet-from-Win, I run into problems:

1. I need to resync the blockchain, even though I already have another wallet on the Linux machine that is full synced. When I copy the files to the default Monero folder, no resyncing is required.
2. Labels and descriptions do not show up.

I noticed that when I go into Settings > Info > Wallet path:, it shows a weird location (/run/user/1000/doc/<random>/Wallet-from-Win.keys) instead of the actual location (/home/user/Nextcloud/Wallet-from-Win/Wallet-from-Win.keys).

Am I doing something wrong or is it impossible to store these files inside a synced Nextcloud folder

Alright, I solved it. The issue was that I was using the flatpak version, but had not given it access to that specific Nextcloud folder. The flatpak version only has access to the folder it creates itself in '/home/user/Monero`.

Using Flatseal, I gave it access to the synced Nextcloud (sub-)folder, and now things work perfectly.
