This is current expected behavior. Nextcloud will handle case insensitivity if the storage used does not support it (e.g. external samba storage).
it's actually causing crashes on the desktop client so.. No, it's not "working" for us as we use the system to develop and share production assets. we were missing 2.4gb of content due to this 'feature'. it's not optimal or user friendly no matter which way you slice it. I've had to uninstall the desktop and aggregate files manually to merge them because it causes an instant crash on the desktop client.

Then it seems to be a Desktop Client bug, you can report here: https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues
Maybe it is related to this report here: https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/6011
You can also enable case sensitivity for the sync folders on your windows system: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/case-sensitivity#change-the-case-sensitivity-of-files-and-directories
Can we instead enable case insensativity on the server side as a feature or setting? And no, I cannot enable case sensative names as it's local drives only, not external media.
I do need to now hunt down all similar folder names on the server and rename them all. This seems daunting as we have over 50gb of resources uploaded by multiple clients.
Could be a feature request

This is currently not possible, but is a planned feature for Nextcloud 30.
Currently case insensitivity checks are only performed if the external Nextcloud storage does not support this (e.g. some Samba configurations).
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
Bug description
due to a case sensitivity on the server, it'll accept one version over another, soft locking the desktop from downloading or merging the files. example:
Misc
vsMISC
both can co exist in the server rather than being merged or aggregatedSteps to reproduce
Expected behavior
folders will merge, OR at least warn the desktop client that folder names are duplicated and should be resolved, throwing an error. would like an aggregation function on the server

Additional info
we are renting our server from an official partner. no technical details known. I tried renaming folders locally but it causes the desktop app to crash on sync
