Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My notes are hierarchically structured, like topic/subtopic/area/noteX. In the app in the left pane I only see the first two folder levels. The remaining levels are shown flat in the main pane, although grouped by the folders they're stored in.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like the folder structure to be browsable completely in the left panel. If the right folder is chosen in the main pane the folder's contents are displayed.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Tried different note apps but I do like the Nextcloud Notes app for two reasons - it's slim and integrates nicely with Nextcloud.

Research direction

Start by locating the Android left-pane folder navigation and the main-pane folder-selection flow. Compare the current two-level behavior with the requested browsable hierarchy, then define coverage for deeper nesting and selection; done means all folder levels can be browsed in the left pane and the selected folder's contents appear in the main pane.
