Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When server-side encryption is enabled it is not possible to create a new CollaboraOnline document, spreadsheet or presentation file from Nextcloud directly.

Describe the solution you'd like
Disable creating a new CollaboraOnline file in Nextcloud directly if server-side encryption is enabled.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Disabling the possibility to create a new CollaboraOnline within Nextcloud could be done dynamically by Nextcloud (if server-side encryption enabled...) or it could even be a option in this app's settings (checkbox).

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the entry points that create new CollaboraOnline documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, then determine how the app can detect whether server-side encryption is enabled. Done means creation is unavailable when encryption is enabled while remaining available otherwise, with the relevant behavior covered by tests if the project has them.
