Description

Haven't seen an issue posted, but I'm wondering if activity could be displayed in a more easily readable way than simply listing every individual file change in Activity feed. I really appreciate how Dropbox will start to condense "event" information once you do a certain tasks multiple times. Condensing would optionally help activity from getting too busy when I'm dump an SD card full of photos or audio files into Nextcloud. Perhaps clicking on the activity would display further individual details.

Example Activity feed:
John Doe added 149 new photos, 4 new documents.
Jane Doe edited 7 documents.
Jane Doe invited 3 people to edit a file.
John Doe added 3 new users.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Activity feed rendering code and reviewing how repeated file, document, invitation, and user events are represented; clarify the grouping rules and interaction for expanding individual details before defining tests for the example cases.
