NextCloud Client Issues

The windows version temporary redirects opens your web browser, you sign in, Grant access and then the client connects.
Holy Cow. I just went to setup a new account and it did! Funny though, when it upgraded, it just continued using my credentials, so I never noticed the change. For kick I just logged out and back in and it used my browser.
Why are they using the extra step?

No idea. But so far, on MacOS and Linux it goes to the web page but never moves past there. It just sits there, forever.

Part of the issue is that the "Grant Access" button does absolutely nothing.
This grant access button is a fucking nightmare. doesm't work in Edge or IE. Issues with Chrome and Firefox sometimes.

FF is what I've been trying it on. It launches the default browser and that's what I have set.

Yes. I've tried all the default browsers on Windows and Firefox.
My laptop never had an issue. But has had the NC client for a year or more.
A new Fedora + CInnamon laptop works but every reboot pops the grant/allow disaster.

I did notice they also are developing a nextcloud drive client. Maybe a culprit?

it probably has to do with the ability to use 2FA. that's what MS's apps on mobile do - they kick out to the default browser where you authenticate and provide 2FA if needed, then it goes back to the app and you're in.

You mean a replacement client? Seems unlikely that they'd break the old one in order to promote a new one, it doesn't really do that.

Looks like they found the issue.
https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/1292Fedora workaround until it is released:
sudo dnf install libgnome-keyring -

sudo dnf install libgnome-keyringI thought that issue was specific to Fedora GNOME. Ever since I started using the nextcloud app I've been including that package as part of my post install setup.
