Description

Hi,

I wanted to create a feature request for Creation of team folders inside a sub folder.
It's already possible to do so, but not supported.

When creating a team folder, you can simply type the directory name + "/" followed by the teamfolder name:

Image This creates the Teamfolder inside Folder, when Folder doesn't exist, it creates a new folder. you also can remove the slash and Folder name it then moves the entire directory and contents.

The downside, it isn't officially supported. When doing it this way, nextcloud doesn't know of the existence until it's in root (at files app > TeamFolders).

Would be great if:

  • There was an option upon creating to create inside certain folder

Thanks,

Research direction

The issue describes team-folder creation using a slash-delimited directory name, but names no files or tests. Start by tracing the existing team-folder creation flow and how nested paths are handled. Done means an administrator can create a team folder inside a selected directory through supported behavior, without relying on the workaround.
