To ensure data integrity, we first will set NextCloud into Maintenance Mode. This ensures that nobody is working actively on NextCloud and reduces the risk of corrupt backups. Cd /var/www/nextcloud sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:mode -on Step 2 – Mounting the Backup Server. On your NextCloudServer create a new directory. Backblaze offers an economical and easy solution to backup unlimited data to the cloud. With only $50 per year per computer, we think Backblaze is by far the most sensible personal online backup. The Web Installer is the easiest way to install Nextcloud on a web space. It checks the dependencies, downloads Nextcloud from the official server, unpacks it with the right permissions and the right user account. Finally, you will be redirected to the Nextcloud installer.
Update. Cyberduck 7.0.1 and Mountain Duck 3.0.3 now include a connection profile for Nextcloud & ownCloud by default allowing a more straightforward setup. You can now also select files to create a public share link.
You are looking for a way to connect to your NextCloud or OwnCloud server without loosing any hard disk space on your computer? Mountain Duck mounts your server storage as a network drive in which you can transfer and edit files. The following describes the connection process to NextCloud with a Mountain Duck Bookmark step-by-step.
- Connect to your NextCloud or OwnCloud instance in your web browser and log in.
- Click on the option Settings in the lower left of the screen and copy the displayed WebDAV address.
- Start Mountain Duck, click on the icon in the tray area or status bar and choose the option NewBookmark.
- Paste the previous copied WebDAV address into the server field and press tab. After that, the bookmark should have chosen WebDAV (HTTPS) on its own and should have split the WebDAV address into two parts – the server address and the default path.
- Type your Username into the corresponding field and press Connect.
- Enter your password in the login prompt displayed and choose Login.
- The login and connection process opens automatically a Finder (macOS) or File Explorer (Windows) window with the network drive selected – ready to use.

Hello,
I have a Nextcloud 19 docker installation on a VPS with Backblaze B2 configured as primary storage. Server side encryption is enabled. I uploaded some files (around 22GB) using the Nextcloud desktop client (version 3.0.2) on Windows 10. When I checked the Backblaze data usage details, it showed an equivalent increase in download. To confirm that this is not an anomaly I checked the data transfer on my VPS provider and it too showed an increase in incoming traffic for the similar amount of data (excluding the amount of data from my desktop to VPS).
What is causing the download when the files were only uploaded? Is this expected?
Backblaze Vs Nextcloud
Thanks.
