I was able to fix the issue. I have first tried to install some other nautilus-extension to see that that this works. I used sudo apt-get install nautilus-admin and sudo killall nautilus. Interestingly, after killing all nautilus instances, if I execute nautilus from terminal, it displays some more meaningful information:

yyy@xxx:~$ nautilus
** Message: 16:56:31.135: Connecting to org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files
Initializing Nextcloud-client-nautilus extension
Using python version sys.version_info(major=3, minor=12, micro=3, releaselevel='final', serial=0)

However, even after getting the heartbeat from Nextcloud-client-nautilus extension - it still did not work. I tried to add another nextcloud-share (added new account), and for the newly added account/folder, the nautilus extension was working. So, as a next step I have deleted all accounts in the nextcloud-client app (there were some bugs that prevented deletion via gui, so i deleted the nextcloud.cfg). Afterwards, I could add my accounts to nextcloud-client and nextcloud-client-nautilus extensions was working properly.

A status update.. The nautilus extension is not working, when the sync folder/disk that contains the nextcloud data appears/is mounted after the start of the nextcloud app.

I can get the extensions running for this folder, by doing

sudo killall nautilus
close/terminate the nextcloud client (taskbar icon)
restart nextcloud client
restart/open nautilus

After that I can see in nautilus the state of the nextcloud sync (green circles on the file icon) and I have the context menu. However, several options in the context menu do not work, e.g. the "copy public link".

I have the same problem and want to add some additional information:

I am running the gnome desktop.

Not working:

copy internal link
copy public link After clicking one of these options I immediately get back response from the gnome UI without showing the nextcloud shared - symbol behind the filename/directory, which is a bit astonishing:
- the link has to be created first via an nextcloud API call. The creation of the link is successfull with both clicks, but takes a second or two (that's the time the symbol behind the filename changes to shared).
- The second step, copying the link information into the desktops paste buffer, is not working. It is also not working when the link already exists in nextcloud an I just want to reuse it.

Working:

creating and copying the links indirectly via the context menu Share Options (not sure whether the label is correct in German it's Freigabeoptionen)
