A possible cause is that not all file systems support the same character sets in paths, so syncing can fail due to invalid names. In this syncthing issue, someone mentions that e.g. Hangouts inserts colons in image names: https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/1734#issuecomm...

Maybe Seafile somehow found a good solution that doesn't cause breakage in other places. Any specific reason you want to switch to them?

OP just told you the problem

They said why they want to switch away from Nextcloud, not why they want to switch to Seafile specifically.

I can tell you as a Seafile user it's pretty slick. There mobile app is polished, and there core offering is stable. Been running an install for years and I've never had issues through many upgrades and iterations on the same install.

From a server admin perspective, they support docker natively and there support of WebDAV and FUSE give you a lot of flexibility in how you can leverage the software.
