Steps to reproduce
- Add external share to your NextCloud, such as a server folder to be visible into NextCloud
- Have there some files with very long names
- Try to see their full name in the app. Impossible.
Expected behaviour
To be able to see such long file names
Actual behaviour
I have this situation and I can’t find a way to read complete file names. File names always have hidden endings, with ellipsis (…). Try with a file with name as long as 2024.06.16-16.46.01 • Clara e Max saindo do Hadikali 【Avi Alkalay·︎iPhone 15 Pro Max】.heic.
I would normally edit its name to read it all and even copy its name, but since this is a read-only external folder, the NextCloud app doesn’t give me a field to edit (and read, and copy) its name.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Nextcloud iOS app using a read-only external share containing a very long file name. Trace the file-list or file-detail display used for external shares; done means the complete name can be read, and ideally copied, without editing the file.
