/storage/emulated/0/ is your sdcard/primary storage.
On android the storage system/structure is quite confusing.
Nextcloud open up on sdcard and therefore "0" is shown. Once you enter a subfolder this folder name is shown.

@tobiasKaminsky yeah that is a bit confusing. though I do not have any SD Cards installed onto the phone. Anyway to make this appear easier to end users?

[tobiasKaminsky]

Fer first storage is always named this way, independent if it is sd card or or internal storage.
As this is the name of the folder we cannot do that much. Some other apps try to detect this and replace "0" by "sdcard", which can also lead to confusion and is only working for known storage paths...

[tobiasKaminsky]

Maybe @nextcloud/designers have an idea?

We had this for the storage directory setting as well, where I brought up the same point. ;)

It is mighty confusing for anyone but programmers. We should do our best to try and "translate"/detect these known paths. Storage is after all our core competence so this is really important for flawless UX. :)
