The issue has been resolved.
Problems with the current sciebo desktop client
There are currently difficulties with the sciebo client version (3.17.4 Windows), which is indicated by the error message “Server could not complete the request.”
Therefore, the sciebo client version (3.17.3, Windows) should be used temporarily, which can be downloaded from the following link:
https://install.sciebo.de/Sciebo-Windows-3.17.3-34773-x64.msi
The request to update the client to a newer version must be ignored for temporary use.
We are working on a solution with high priority.
We continue to recommend that you do not update to the latest version 4.0.4. We recommend using version 3.17.3 on Windows.
The specialist department is currently testing a new version that should resolve all issues.
Further information and workarounds can be found at the following link:
https://docs.sciebo.de/docs/faq/#nach-dem-update-des-clients-erhalte-ich-einen-interner-serverfehler
The operators state the issue has been resolved. Internal tests did work smoothly.
Limitations in Online Document Editing (OnlyOffice, Collabora)
Currently, there are issues with collaborative document editing in Sciebo.
Documents opened via Nextcloud-Office (Collabora) cannot be reliably loaded or edited when shared across federated instances (i.e., between different Nextcloud/Sciebo instances).
Similarly, OnlyOffice is experiencing issues with federated collaboration, as changes are not being properly synchronized, leading to diverging versions of documents.
The service providers are actively working on a fix.
The issue is still being worked on. Collaborative editing beyond instance boundaries is currently not possible. A summary and updates can be found here:
https://docs.sciebo.de/docs/apps/office/
We will also announce updates here
The difficulties with federated sharing with the Nextcloud Office (Collabora) editor have been resolved.
The issue with the OnlyOffice document editor remains.
OnlyOffice will still be deactivated at the end of February.
