choose folder of account

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My nextcloud server address is not at the root of my domain but on something like https://domain.tld/nextcloud/
So the android app stores everything on android/media/com.nextcloud.client/nextcloud/user@domain.tld%2Fnextcloud .The problem is that %2F isn't always liked by other app. Some confuse it with / .It is the case at least for KeePass DX so it makes the usage of keepass and sync unfriendly.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to choose my account's folder's name. Instead of "user@domain.tld%2Fnextcloud" I'd prefer to choose. I would just put "user" in my case...

Describe alternatives you've considered

If it's really not possible to choose our account's folder's name maybe it could be a good idea to change %2F by something like a "_" or a "-" .

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #517 (enhance folder listing), #3379 (Download also folders), #184 (Upload whole folder), #802 (Choose any folder on sdcard), and #3397 (Use Account Language).

I read all of this issues. Except #802, none are really related.
Even this one isn't exactly what I'm talking about. This issue is about letting choice for the path to the account's folder : android/media/com.nextcloud.client/ or android/data/com.nextcloud.client/files/ or...
I'm speaking about the choice of account's folder's name. We need to be able to replace "user@domain.tld%2Fnextcloud" by "user" or "user_domain.tld-nextcloud" or whatever.

Passing files from NC to other apps should be done, like the Android way, by sharing, or via Document Provider, but not accessing the files directly.
With the approaches above (share, doc provider), there will be no problem with such account folder name.

Does keepassx support webDAV? I am using keepass2android where I configured the keepass file within the NExtcloud server via webDAV within the app itself and so keepass2android syncs the file itself. No need for the Nextcloud files app to be involved :) (just an alternative of course / friendly suggestion)

[Thatoo]

On the computer, we access, read and write files that are in the synced folder so I don't see any reason not to do that in android.

No, keepassx doesn't support webdav... Thank you for your suggestion.

Closing, as KeePassX no longer exists these days.

KeePassDX, another option, supports the approach we suggested back in 2019 (using Android's Documents Provider/ SAF): https://github.com/Kunzisoft/KeePassDX/wiki/File-Manager-and-Sync
