Description
Hi there,
I have noticed the app has never uploaded anything to external storage since being installed. Up to version 1.0.4, the app would create folders, but no file would be uploaded to them. From version 1.0.5, the app has also stopped to create folders.
My configuration:
- Nextcloud 23.0.3
- PHP 7.4.28
- MariaDB 10.5.12
- External storage mounted via WebDAV with authentication via "Username and password". It is available only for my personal user.
I have recently set the "local app data" policy to 1 and the "external storages" policy to 3.
This is the current backup:
This is the external storage folder:
Notice that the folders for the previous backup are there, but they have always been empty.
Also, I could not find anything on the Nextcloud logs related to the app.
Thank you for your attention.

Research direction
Start by reproducing a backup with the listed Nextcloud, PHP, MariaDB, and WebDAV configuration, then inspect the backup behavior and available logs. Compare the folder creation and file upload results across app versions 1.0.4 and 1.0.5. Done means identifying why uploads fail and confirming that a backup creates and uploads its files to the external storage.
