Description
In the standard vertical list view (not grid view), long file names are truncated with an ellipsis (…), and there is no way to see the full name without rotating the device or switching to grid view. This makes it difficult to identify files with similar or long names.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the Nextcloud Android app.
- Navigate to a folder containing a file with a long name (e.g., longer than 30 characters).
- Ensure the view is set to vertical list view (not grid view).
- Look at the file list – the file name is cut off with ….
Expected behavior
The file name should be fully visible in vertical list view, either by:
- Automatically wrapping to the next line, or
- Allowing horizontal scrolling of the filename, or
- Showing a tooltip/popup on long press or single tap to reveal the full name.
Actual behavior
Only part of the file name is visible, and the rest is inaccessible unless the user switches to grid view or checks file details elsewhere.
Additional context
- Switching to grid view shows slightly more but not always full names.
- This issue does not occur in landscape orientation, where more horizontal space is available.
- The problem affects usability for users who manage files with long, descriptive names (e.g., document versions, project files, photo names).
Possible suggestion for improvement
Allow multi‑line file names in vertical list view or add a long‑press option to copy or view full file name.
