Description
Steps to reproduce
- Open encrypted folder (Relating to Nextcloud's E2EE app)
- Upload any file
Expected behaviour
File encrypts and uploads successfully
Actual behaviour
Loops an error message, going from "The file you are uploading is encrypted, keep the app in the foreground until complete" to the error "File already locked" repeatedly, every few seconds until the transfer is manually stopped from the "More" tab.
Screenshots
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
Because it removes the ability to use E2EE on iOS devices.
Environment data
iOS version: e.g. iOS 15.4.1
Nextcloud iOS app version: 4.3.1
Nextcloud version: 23.0.2
End-to-end Encryption app version: 1.9.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the encrypted-folder upload from the iOS app using the listed app, Nextcloud, and E2EE versions. Trace the encrypted upload entry point and the repeated “File already locked” state; done means a file uploads successfully without looping or requiring manual cancellation.
