I want to have Nextcloud start when I open my session. Following the instructions to start applications automatically does not work for me; I have to start Nextcloud manually each time I start my session.

enter image description here

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and Nextcloud client 2.6.5

Edit: clicking the option in the Nextcloud Client General Settings did not work

My way to add a program on user session startup is firstly install gnome-tweaks.

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Then run it from activity menu, and go top Startup program, click on the + to add a new program, then choose Nextcloud from the list.

It should be under the Nextcloud Client General Settings. Click the box to put a check on the option to "Launch on System Startup"

It works, if you do it as root.
For me, all I had to do is add the user who started up the system to the sudoers:

sudo usermod -a -G sudo <user_who_started_the_system>

Have a look at: https://devconnected.com/how-to-add-user-to-sudoers-on-ubuntu-20-04 to get some more instructions.
