Description

Hi,

thanks for the great work on Group Folders! I was wondering whether it's possible to add a feature, where a default group folder would be created automatically for each group in Nextcloud. I'd like to create a new group of users in my LDAP backend and automatically have a folder for that group in Nextcloud.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating how groups and group folders are created and how LDAP group synchronization enters Nextcloud. Clarify whether folders should be created during group sync, what defaults they use, and how existing groups are handled before defining completion criteria.
