This happens because your data is being uploaded to the S3 storage in the background. It may take a while depending on how much data you upload. However, Nextcloud itself cannot calculate how long it will take.

To connect to your Nextcloud server via WebDAV, you may need a WebDAV client for your PC/Mac. Many operating systems already have WebDAV capability built in. However, you can still use your favorite online search engine to find a suitable WebDAV solution for your system. To connect via WebDAV, you need the WebDAV link of your Nextcloud server. In the Nextcloud web interface, open the Files application and select Settings at the bottom left. Copy the link shown below and if necessary change https:// to davs:// if it doesn’t work right away. When prompted, enter your username and password.

The update/upgrade process is performed by us at NWS once the new Nextcloud version has been tested. We announce update periods via email. Your Nextcloud server will then be updated during a reboot, which should take no more than a few minutes.

To delete a file or folders at once, hover over the file name and click the checkbox next to the file thumbnail. Then select Delete on the right side. The files will be moved to the recycle bin. To delete files permanently, you need to empty the Recycle Bin. To do so, click Deleted Files on the bottom left, select the files you want to permanently remove from your Nextcloud again by checking the checkboxes, and click Delete.
