Large folder appears empty and does not load contents in app · Issue #6233 · nextcloud/android

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have a large folder on your nextcloud server (in my case 40Gb of data in Photos Folder, a few 1000 files)
  2. Freshly connect Android app to the server
  3. Open the large folder inside the app

Expected behaviour

  • shows the contained data
  • at least indicates that viewing such a large folder may take time
  • behaves as the "Photos" view does: lazy loads data with instant feedback
  • does not shock the user by saying "hmm your folder is empty", when in fact it contains 40 Gigs of valuable data ;)

Actual behaviour

  • App says the photos folder is empty (while showing, that it is roughly 40 Gb in size)
  • as a consequence it is not possible to view the content of the folder
  • but when viewing photos with the "Photos" view everything shows up just fine

Can you reproduce this problem on https://try.nextcloud.com?

  • didn't try, but seems reasonable to assume that this is not setup related
