Steps to reproduce
- Open Files app
- Long-press the Nextcloud folder
- Select "Information"
Expected behaviour
The correct information should be displayed.
Actual behaviour
Create/modify/accessed time is always the current time, size is "-2 Bytes"
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
I don't know if these data are available via WebDAV, but at least the "-2 Bytes" size does not make any sense.
