+Upload of files greater than 10 MiB fails
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you configure nginx (globally) to block all requests to (hidden) dot files,
+it may be not possible to upload files greater than 10 MiB using the webpage
+due to Nextclouds requirement to upload the file to an url ending with ``/.file``.
+
+You may require to change:
+
+.. code-block:: nginx
+
+    location ~ /\. {
+
+to the following to re-allow file uploads:
+
+.. code-block:: nginx
+
+    location ~ /\.(?!file).* {
