macOS suffix VFS is experimental, and I don't have an ETA for a fix. I'd recommend to use use ownCloud'd context menu entry as a workaround:

i have also this bug on difference macs. how can we solve this?

[TheOneRing]

ownCloud is supposed to be the default application to open those files.
What happens if you double-click a .owncloud file?

Hi

When i double click on the file, its open owncloud. But nothing happing anymore

[TheOneRing]

Please provide client logs:
https://doc.owncloud.com/desktop/next/appendices/troubleshooting.html#log-files

[ammannit]

ownCloud.log

[ammannit]

could the reason be that the database is not located directly on the server?

[ammannit]

owncloud-logs.log

on this mac, doesn0t open the file. the first log file, was on a other mac. the files open, but it is take a while.

[TheOneRing]

In the second case it claims that the client does not know about the affected file.
Does the file exist on the server, or is it a zombie placeholder?

[ammannit]

yes it is and i can dowload it via browser

[TheOneRing]

And if you perform a forced sync and try it again, does it still complain that the file is not in the db?
