Quarantine folder

A Quarantine directory is automatically provided. This folder was created when G DATA AntiVirus für Nextcloud was activated. At this point, you can specify a different directory if you do not want to use the proposed quarantine folder.

Moving infected files to the quarantine directory ensures that these files are not accessed by mistake. Since authorized users could still download these files, do not use directories that are known and shared by all users for the quarantine.

The following can be specified:

  • Individual file names

  • File extensions

Please separate multiple entries with commas.

Wildcards are not supported.
