Summary

NextCloud has been updated from version 27 to 28. The configuration of group folders with restricted permissions at different levels causes inconsistencies in the user interface, particularly when attempting to copy files into specific subfolders.

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure group folders with restricted permissions:
   • Top-level folder (level_one) prohibits users from writing.
   • Subfolder (level_two) within level_one allows users to write and read.
2. Access the user web interface and attempt to copy files into the level_two subfolder. Note that the level_two subfolder may not appear in the copy/move window, despite being visible in the interface.

Expected behaviour

Users should be able to see all relevant subfolders, including the level_two subfolder, when attempting to copy files within the group folder structure. The copy/move window should display all subfolders with appropriate permissions, allowing users to select and copy files as needed. (We had this in the previous NC version)

Actual behaviour

In the current setup, the level_two subfolder may not appear in the copy/move window, despite being visible in the user interface. This discrepancy limits users' ability to copy files into specific subfolders, leading to frustration and inefficiency in file management tasks.
