Nextcloud - Libre Office On Desktop not Syncing (lemmy.world)

Hey everybody, first time post here.

Here's a quick rundown of my setup. I'm running an ubuntu server with a Nextcloud/redis/maria db stack. I've enabled collabora online built in CODE server for my online nextcloud office. On my pixel i use the collabora app and my linux mint desktop I'm using either libre office or collabora office. I'm currently just a single user and I use a wireguard server on my router for remote access. I'm fine with not having live web based editing for now as I'm the only user. My syncs between my phone and my nextcloud server UI are flawless.

The PROBLEM I'm experiencing is on my desktop when I open say a .xls(using calc) or .docx(using writer), libre office or collabora opens them with a ".~lock." When this is opened it wipes the data in the file and resyncs my nextcloud server UI and my phone nexctcloud app with the wiped version.

Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution??

I've also only recently been tinkering with servers and self hosted applications for about 5 months, so this is all new to me and I could easily be overlooking a few things.

Many thanks in advance

I've not had any issues with file syncing on desktop. Android has a few issues due to google screwing with permissions and making it unable to sync all file types through nextcloud, but I don't recall having any issues with collabora on my phone syncing. Nextcloud does seem to have full file sync permissions in it's android/media/etc. folder, and that's where I open my documents from, so if you're not opening your files from there, maybe that's the issue.
