    Hi there, I wanna migrate from a other cloud service to nextcloud.
    I have set up the cloud running well. Now I want to upload my data.

    I'm talking about several 1000 files and around 20GB size.

    I wanted to upload a zip file and installed the "extract" App on nextcloud. But here I do get encoding problems with german umlauts. I found a solution to run on the server:
    'convmv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 -r --notest --nfc <nextcloud-data-folder>'
    But this wont work in the Terminal?

    When I upload with the cloudron Filemanager, I get the same problem.

    On Nextcloud side there was an issue already in 2017. https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/3136
    With the same 'convmv' solution.

    Seems like I will install Nextcloud Client and sync the files.

    Also, it would be very interesting if it is possible to get the files with the original timestamp and have them visible in Nextcloud with the original timestamp.

    I am grateful for any suggestions.

    Have you considered using tar instead?

    Something like tar czvf <name>.tgz <nextcloud-folder-to-compress/>

    Instead of copying file by file you should tar the files as @robi suggested and upload it via file manager. You can then extract it (file manager has an Extract option).
