@scottalanmiller I'm pretty sure Dropbox, MS etc all have a "select all and recover" type option.
I'd have to look again but I'm pretty sure this is a feature.
MS does not. We had MS lose data and they have no recovery mechanism at all. DropBox might.
From ShartPoint they definitely have a trashbin function. I'm not aware of any such feature for other products from MS.

SharePoint is a wiki, not a competitor for cloud storage. Microsoft's cloud storage product is OneDrive.

@scottalanmiller You missed it.
Shart Point (purposely misspelled) because MS sh*t their pants at the awful product design and attempted to sell it like the greatest thing since sliced bread.

NextCloud has this. Super easy to use.

No it does not.

You can revert things individually in the GUI. That is it.
Not even by folder. There is no revert options at the folder level.
-
Sure does, just select or "select all" and choose "restore".
-
@scottalanmiller Have you tried using it? Does it actually work?

Just did. Yeah, works great.

I saw issues of it not working, or not working with more than 3 files etc.
I'm curious now.

Restore from trash has always worked just fine for me.
I was discussing the restore to point in time that was specifically asked about.

What was mentioned was "select all and recover" which is literally exactly what it has. I didn't see anything about a point in time and definitely didn't respond to one. Check the thing that I quoted.

Restore from trash is what you quoted and said it didn't have.

We already had few serious issues with it (bugs with mainstream Intel GPU never solved etc.) but we switched to it due to pricing advantage.
How is NC interacting with the GPU at all? That's very strange. You have this in a VM, right?
Issue was with Windows client app. It was not in a VM.

Who HAS this feature? The biggest player on the market doesn't have it.
Dropbox has it (we still use Dropbox partly).
For us it is common problem that users mistakenly move entire folder. It happens to us few times a year maybe. -

NC has option of "select all" but that option has no value for us, after we use it about a year!!!
Who needs option to restore all deleted files in entire history of usage?We needed to restore hundreds of files deleted on that day, not entire history of deleted files - that would be a mess
-
Dropbox also shows large deletions as one "event" that you can undo which is also a nice feature.
-
We also noticed that some users still have access to group folders, after we removed those users from those groups which is weird. We did not found time to analyze and check/report a bug about it. But now I don't feel cofident in NC after these few issues.

Of course, in this example it works fine because you have "1 folder and 2 files"
But after a year or so, we have this, so the option "select all" is pointless:
