Description
Expected behaviour
iOS storage is almost full, upload photos to nextcloud and ideally have nextcloud delete them off storage after uploading. The Nextcloud app itself should not grow in size during this process
Actual behaviour
storage on iOS is almost full so I upload the photos (4GB) to Nextcloud, there is no "delete after upload" option so I will just delete the photos myself after. Time passes and uploading is complete, all photos are on nextcloud. I check device storage and now I have 4GB of photos and Nextcloud itself is 4GB in size!
I had to open nextcloud and "delete cache"
Steps to reproduce
as above, upload 4gb worth of files and watch the nextcloud app grow to that size
No offline folders were configured, no files appear in offline files, offline favourites not enabled.
iOS version
12.x
App version
2.23.8.30
Server configuration
nextcloud snap 15.0.11

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on the iOS app using the reported 4 GB upload scenario, with no offline folders or favourites enabled, and compare storage before and after deleting the uploaded photos. Check whether the app retains upload data or cache after completion; done means uploads finish without comparable app growth, or the retained data is removed by the expected cleanup behavior.
