Description

Expected behaviour

The switch for integration into the iOS Files app should be named without negation. An activated switch should stand for an activated integration.

Actual behaviour

The switch is labeled negatively, e.g. an activated switch stands for "Deactivate the integration into files app". Thats not was a user expects in the first place. More severely, in German the word "deactivate" (deaktivieren) is at the end of the sentence. On smaller iPhones (I use a iPhone 6) the word is cut off (see "d..." on screenshot).

Steps to reproduce

Use the current version on an iPhone with smaller screen, e.g. iPhone 6.

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

UX. An activated switch should indicate an activated integration. Not the other way round.

iOS version

14.2

App version

3.0.13

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Files-app integration switch on a smaller iPhone and locate the corresponding switch label in the iOS app and its German translation. Done means the switch uses positive wording, an enabled switch represents an enabled integration, and the full label remains visible.
