Some attachments won't upload to WebDAV server

edited yesterday at 2:25pm
Hi,

a few months ago, I have moved to a new desktop client (Linux flatpack - I hope this is the right place to post). I don't remember the exact procedure of moving my items, but I was basically copying the Zotero user directory.

Now, after some changes, I want to sync my library again. For that I use WebDAV, probably outdated because the software it ships with hasn't updated it in a while (or rather: hasn't updated Nextcloud in a while, which includes WebDAV). Zotero's "verify server" function, however, reports no issues.

Out of a few hundred attachments, most sync, but 25 fail to. Errors are thrown only for a few attachments at a time, until the sync process gets stuck. It only continues after deleting the corresponding directories and restarting.

The problematic files are mostly big in size, but not exclusively. Their types are PDF, pptx, mp4, html.

I disabled all plugins and did both available sync resets, with no success. Removing the files and re-importing them also did not work. I wonder what makes these files different. If it helps, I can provide some of them.

Error log after trying to sync all 25 problematic files:
