Description

Just tried the app and I got the following issue:

It has most likely the same reason why https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/25787 happened.

Research direction

Start with lib/Service/ZipService.php at line 92, where the trace shows newFile failing, then follow the call from lib/BackgroundJob/ZipJob.php line 65. Reproduce zipping with a read-only root folder and verify that the archive is created successfully without the “No create permission for path” error.
