When something goes wrong while uploading a file to an end-to-end encrypted public drop folder, the user gets no clear error message. The file is just marked by an exclamation mark without further explanation or indication of what an explanation mark means in this context.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a public file drop link for an end-to-end encrypted folder.
- Try dropping a file that’s way too large.
Expected behaviour
Show an error message telling the user that something has gone wrong.
Actual behaviour
The file is listed just like successfully transferred files except with an exclamation mark instead of a check mark.
