Android client doesn't sync, "Network Error"

Seafile Android, both from Google Play and downloading the last version from Github (3.0.7) fail to sync the files. Tapping on a file, gives “Failed to download file, “Network Error””. Conversely, I can download the file via long pressing it and downloading locally, but it fails to sync when I update it.

The only exception are pictures. Pictures get downloaded by single tap.

This way is pretty useless.

I am using Oxygen 15 (Android 15)

Something similar happens to me, it shows an Network Error anytime I try to upload a video file, which is larger then 100MB. I don’t know what is going on on the app side, maybe something related to http vs https when splitting the bigger file into chunks? Pure guess at this point since the error is not informative at all!
I can upload it through https on my phone when I open a browser tab

I have exactly the same phenomenon that was already reported by CarloPiana. Download works on Web and Windows-Sync-Client, pics get shown in the app, but nothing that requires external applications such as pdf, svg and txt. It always reports a network error. But when I download a file by long pressing, it works as expected. My Android is 13. On the server I don’t see any errors in the log. Really seems to be related to the app.

I just encountered the same issue today on a Pixel 6 Pro running Android 15. Anything that uses an external viewer seems to report a Network error, but pictures and movies open without an issue.
