Description
The top right is quite an unfortunate place for toasts as it is not at the center of the user's attention and can often cover UI. It's also the same place notifications are, which toasts are not. This could lead to additional confusion.
The bottom center is a more common position across apps and would probably work in our case as well.
@nextcloud-libraries/designers this was discussed in the past, but we never followed up on it.
PS: Unsure in which repo they were, when I looked up nextcloud toast, this was the first result :D
