Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create an end-to-end encrypted (e2e) folder (e.g. Desktop App)
- Load data into the newly created folder
- Mark the new folder with data in the Nextcloud iOS APP as "available offline".
- Deactivate mobile radio and WLAN on the iPhone.
Expected behaviour
I was expected to be able to access the E2E data offline. It is possible, but only the cryptic file names are displayed. As soon as mobile/WLAN is enabled again, the correct file names are displayed again.
Actual behaviour
only cryptic file names are displayed

Logs
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
With the cryptic file names the desired file/folder cannot be found.

Research direction
Begin by reproducing the issue in the Nextcloud iOS app using an end-to-end encrypted folder marked available offline, then inspect the offline E2E file and folder-name handling. Done means encrypted content retains the correct readable names with mobile data and Wi-Fi disabled, while online behavior remains unchanged.
