Description

Office files in group folders (Addon), cannot be opened with the two Office programs (Collabora Online & Only Office). There is an unspecific error message when trying to open or create the file.

The problem does not appear in the browser. Even outside the group folders the office programs work inside the Nextcloud iOS app. Therefore, the problem is specifically between the Nextcloud app and the group folders.

Nextcloud Server: 18.0.4
Nextcloud App (2.25.9.2) on iPadOS (13.4.1)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in the Nextcloud iOS app with Collabora Online and OnlyOffice files inside a group folder, comparing it with browser access and files outside group folders. Done means office files can be opened and created in group folders without the unspecific error on the reported server and iPadOS versions.
