Description

Expected behaviour

I expected that when I open folder in IOS file manager and then select for example all 50 photos in directory and try share and then select nextcloud that I will be able to select destination where I can store all 50 photos.

Actual behaviour

Currently is only possible select maximum 20 photos from directory. More 20 is not possible upload from IOS file manager with this way.

Steps to reproduce

Copy 50 photos into iOS File manager. Then select all of them and press share button and select nextcloud. App will open but no option where you want to store this files. It simply open application like when you open application from home screen.

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
  • If you have more photos in iOS file manager and you want to upload it via this way than nextcloud will convert HEIC into jpg what is perfect. Tested on max 20 photos which was possible upload. But if you have like 600 photos it really help with upload process.
  • I think it really help from this perspective as I want to backup this photos from folder and from photo application in iOS. As I do not want to store it on this device.

Research direction

The report names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the iOS Files share flow with more than 20 photos on the reported app version, then trace how the app handles multiple incoming files and destination selection. Done means selecting a larger batch opens the destination picker and permits the files to be uploaded.
