Nextcloud Windows Sync File locking for shared data.

[JarbyDev]

Will be nice having this Feature!!
For companies who use shared data, there is currently no way to tell in the Windows Nextcloud Sync client whether another user has a file open. like Office Documents (Excel, Word)

Very important feature

It might work, but this is not expected to work properly for enterprise, removing certain patterns of the Clients "Edit Ignored Files"-feature, so that the lock files Office creates will be synced. This might only work if the sync is fast enough and you need to hope that not two users open the files at the same time or that anyone opens a file and then shutdowns the PC (so that the lock file might be removed but Nextcloud had no chance to sync it up), otherwise there might be sync problems or a file keeps locked forever (or until removes the lock file manually).

Someone found a code snippet with an example on how to implement this lock feature. >>>> nextcloud/files_lock#72
