Make groupfolders more visible

[tobiasKaminsky]

• Android: Groupfolders android#11526
• Android library: Support to read Groupfolders android-library#1109
• Desktop: Feature/group folders visibility improved desktop#5636
• iOS:
• Server:
  • allow non-admins to list their own groupfolders groupfolders#2327
  • add capability whether the user has accessible groupfolders groupfolders#2328

Goal is to give our groupfolder system more visibility.

• Retrieve all folders that are groupfolders, API is pending
• in capabilities: groupfolder for user: yes/no
• icon: shared folder icon, might be replaced by another one

Android @tobiasKaminsky:

• in navigation, beneath "Shared": new entry "Groupfolders"
• show list of available groupfolders, on click navigate to it

Desktop @mgallien:

• in tray menu: folder icon will become dropdown
  • first entry: "main folder"
  • then list all groupfolders -> click on it opens folder (if synced, else explain it)
  • if only one entry -> do not show dropdown

iOS @marinofaggiana:

• in "more" -> "Groupfolders"
• show list of available groupfolders, on click navigate to it

@tobiasKaminsky do you have a mock up of what it would look like ?
we currently handle them like external storage so if they are selected the activity from them would already appear in the activity list
maybe I misunderstand something here

[tobiasKaminsky]

It is about this view and about "folder" icon (the one with green sync icon).
On Desktop it is basically to have a shortcut to those groupfolders.

[marinofaggiana]

Is in WIP the capabilities: groupfolder for user: yes/no ?? because in NC26 is not present (yet)

[tobiasKaminsky]

Will be at some point in groupfolders app, and then we can use it.
Might be backported to NC26, but clients shall only rely on capability.

[marinofaggiana]

I would propose the addition in share (like server)

[tobiasKaminsky]

Let us first do the minimum, and if time allows, we can add this to share handling.

},
				"groupfolders": {
					"hasGroupFolders": true
				},

We have on e2e.kaminsky.me, user "tag" this now active.
So we can do:

• if property is not available (<NC27) or "false" -> do not show entry / dropdown
• if property is "true" -> use it

@tobiasKaminsky:
in my NC26 for NOT admin:

GET https://nextcloud.homelinux.org/index.php/apps/groupfolders/folders
error 500 < {"message":"Logged in user must be an admin, a sub admin or gotten special right to access this setting"} >

as admin group, no problem.

[tobiasKaminsky]

This is not yet in NC26, thus please use e2e.kaminsky.me server, where all needed PRs are applied.

@marinofaggiana @mgallien
in request to list groupfolders please add applicable=1, as this then shows also for admin user correct info:
/index.php/apps/groupfolders/folders?applicable=1

[tobiasKaminsky]

@jancborchardt when we first spoke about this feature, you mentioned that icon might change.
So, will we have a new icon? :)

[tobiasKaminsky]

Capability:

	"groupfolders": {
					"hasGroupFolders": true
				},

List of groupfolders:
curl --request GET
--url 'https://e2e.kaminsky.me/index.php/apps/groupfolders/folders?format=json&applicable=1'
--header 'OCS-APIRequest: true'

output:

{
	"ocs": {
		"meta": {
			"status": "ok",
			"statuscode": 100,
			"message": "OK",
			"totalitems": "",
			"itemsperpage": ""
		},
		"data": {
			"1": {
				"id": 1,
				"mount_point": "\/groupfolder",
				"groups": {
					"users": 31
				},
				"quota": -3,
				"size": 1896240,
				"acl": false,
				"manage": []
			},
			"2": {
				"id": 2,
				"mount_point": "\/subfolder\/group",
				"groups": {
					"users": 31
				},
				"quota": -3,
				"size": 2604768,
				"acl": false,
				"manage": []
			}
		}
	}
}

All done.
