Same here with nextcloud 28.0.6 and nextcloud desktop 3.13.3 on windows 10.
When the bug occurs, in my case always with excel, it seems that the lock file ~$nameoffile.xlsx isn't created. So without the lockfile, excel can't know if the file has been modified by someone else or not.
Now I don't understand why excel sometimes doesn't success to create the lock file on sync folders.
I can give some logs if it helps, and if you explain how to do.

Hi
For information, still current with version V3.13.4 (not tested with V3.14 or 3.14.1 because these versions do not seem stable to me)

[tomdereub]

Still current with version 3.14.3.

[Mika-6-9]

Yes

Also with 3.15
Could this have something to do with changes in files that are not recognized by Nextcloud client. This issue is not the only issue I have with Nextcloud. Moving files using the windows file Explorer between Nextcloud folders is also giving problems.

If you have issues with renaming files or moving files or folders, please do not post it here and report it separately such that one has a chance to investigate your report and maybe solve a bug for all.

There already is an issue for that (#6151 ). Because I had both issues, I thought maybe there was a relation between the two issues.

I have som additional info: the 'overwrite' message only shows the first time you want to save after opening an excel file. If you don't close the file, and save it later again, the message does not come up again.
