Description
Steps to reproduce
1.start app
2. choose „more“
3. tap on account
Expected behaviour
Account not only can be chosen (if more than one exist) or be deleted, but account settings can also be edited
Tell us what should happen.
Actual behaviour
Tell was what instead happens.
It only is possible to change between accounts and an account can be deleted. It is not possible to edit account settings, escpecially the NC server‘s URL.
Screenshots
If applicable, add a screenshot showing the issue.
Logs
If applicable, you can post the iOS app or server logs (removing any sensitive information).
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
If the server URL changes (i.e. new DNS domain), you have to add a new account. This also means that you have ti restart photo/video sync. If since the last photo sync new photos have been taken you have to sync the whole photo roll, which may lead to many duplicates. If it was possible to edit the account settings, especially the server‘s URL, one just would have to set the new URL and an existing automatic photo sync job could continue…
