Show server sided mounts problems in client

[mmattel]

Run into this yesterday.

An existing FTP mount was inaccessible due to maintenance.
You can see this when you open the browser (see screenshot), but you dont in the client.

It would be great if mount problems could also bee shown in the client.
eg: a mark/icon/color on the folder ect...

If you rarely work with the browser but regular with the client, you currently do not get any info and think everything is right...

Client: 2.3.4

Warning overlay icon for desktop file manager integration? We shouldn’t add a new icon, because this is limited on some platforms.

FYI: No API yet to enter credentials for server mounted storages in desktop or mobile clients.

I do not stick to a new icon, it was just a suggestion.
To address this we need to see if:

• does the server send to the client a notification about a mount issue already. If not this has to be added. The Android app seems to have this already, linked issue above.
• make the user at the client side aware about this issue - however we achieve this - the only thing is that it has to be visible to him EASILY. (a different folder color maybe?)

The server should just send a notification to the client with the notification API
