Steps to reproduce
  1. Open any file containing app. Lets demonstrate this on the Photos app
  2. Select a image or video
  3. Press the share button
  4. Select the Nextcloud app to share the file to
  5. The Nextcloud app will open and present you with directories to save the file to. Select one or dont
  6. Try to click the Upload button (there will be no reaction)
Expected behaviour

The file should upload to the directory i chose

Actual behaviour

Nothing happens. The button doesnt highlight, it acts like a static element. All other buttons in the app work, its just the Upload button that doesnt.

Additional

When then reverting back to the photos app and selecting another media and redoing the steps the nextcloud app gets stuck at "Waiting for Server to retrieve directory contents" (roughly translated).

This issue is similiar, but yet different enough to https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues/4121, that i created this separate issue.

Logs
  1. IOS logs. Im uncertain where to view these?
  2. Nextcloud AIO Loggin page, shows zero errors related to this (none present from the timeframe of trying)
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

It's a obvious main feature of the Nextcloud app. To upload files

Research direction

Start by reproducing the share flow on iOS 17.6.1 with Nextcloud iOS 33.0.10.2, following the Photos-to-Nextcloud steps and observing the Upload button. The issue is done when the selected file uploads to the chosen directory and repeating the flow does not remain stuck waiting for directory contents.
