The latest nextcloud server versions will have ransomware detection automatically
enabled, meaning that syncing common developer file types (e.g. .lock) will return errors.

If you are syncing complex, nested work directories as a developer, the following list can be used, as a starting point, to exclude certain common file types and folders.
Examples:
.git/: folder will not be synced (but the latest files checked out, will)node_modules/: (JS) will not be synced, preventing syncing of a massive quantity of unnecessary dependenciescython_debug/: C-Extensions for Python debug directories_site/: Commonly used for building static sites and serving temporary files (mkdocs serve,hugo serve)
The motivation behind this approach is that Nextcloud should not be used as a backup
solution, but for syncing working files. For instance, if you want to continue
working at home on selected files (*.md, *.odt), this will be possible. For checking
out the latest git repositories, or dependencies,
use the native approach (e.g. git pull for repositories, npm install for node_modules/).
