Description

Describe the bug
When sharing an entire Apple Note (containing images) via the iOS Share Sheet to Nextcloud, the Nextcloud share extension opens but does not show an upload button. Only folder navigation is visible, but there is no way to trigger the actual upload.

When sharing individual images from within a Note (long-press on image → Share), the upload works correctly.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Apple Notes and open a note containing one or more images
  2. Tap the Share button at the top of the note
  3. Select Nextcloud from the Share Sheet
  4. Navigate to a destination folder
  5. No upload button appears

Expected behavior
The share extension should show an upload button after selecting the destination folder, and upload all attachments from the note.

This worked correctly in a previous version. The behavior changed after updating to Nextcloud iOS app 33.0.10 / Nextcloud server 33.0.5.

Environment

  • Nextcloud iOS app version: 33.0.10
  • Nextcloud server version: 33.0.5 (AIO)
  • iOS version: latest
  • Device: iPhone

Troubleshooting already tried

Uninstalled and reinstalled the Nextcloud iOS app – issue persists

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the iOS Share Sheet with an Apple Note containing images, then inspect the share extension flow for whole-note attachments versus individually shared images. The fix is complete when a destination folder shows an upload button, all note attachments upload successfully, and individual-image sharing still works.
