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

Can't see any account info from Photos section.

Describe the solution you'd like

Being able to see and interact with account from Photos section

Additional context

Done in Files section (done by #5207)
May lead to search integration (a simple one to start with)
And also help integrate a potential future Bottom Navigation bar and other features in account switcher interface.

FYI : I opened a discussion on the forum about the future of Photos section (https://help.nextcloud.com/t/the-evolution-of-photos-section/99072)

At least I have no time to look also in forum.
For me forum is user <-> user help, e.g. setting up server, etc.
For developing/bugs Github should be used.

I am not sure, if having an account switcher in photo view is needed.
We also do not have it in any other view that is not related to files (e.g. settings, activities, etc.)

May lead to search integration (a simple one to start with)

Photo/Gallery/Media should show all latest media files, sorted by date.
As there is also no file name visible, it is a bit weird to search for something, I think.
(if search would be there, then it could redirect to normal files view, maybe).

I can create an issue for dev <-> dev discussion but having a feedback from end user seems to be legit according to the subject I'm dealing with.

In my opinion the account switcher should be available everywhere there is a main cloud app (file, photos, talks, etc.) and appearing as a main UI anchor to the user (as the navigation drawer).

Photo/Gallery/Media should show all latest media files, sorted by date.

About search UX, what about a user that want to search a photo ? Should he go back to files section ? Don't seems really user friendly to me but why not.
A search bar is not necessary a text input it can deal with many properties as location, tags, date (see nextcloud/photos#445). Furthermore the search feature can be shared between multiple section (here file and photos) and applying filter for the needed content type wherever it's used.
