Description

  • Android @tobiasKaminsky
  • iOS @marinofaggiana
  • Server @nextcloud/server-triage

I am about to add avatar icon to shares, same like on web ui.

first is within the same server, second is via federated share:

Android:

web UI:

Now some questions to discuss:

  • why is federated sharing on web ui not done via avatar? Generation of remote avatars should be possible?
  • how to handle space problem on mobile? show "shared"? Same for federated sharing? show beginning of userId?
  • how to distinguish between "local" avatar and remote/federated one?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing file-list share indicators on Android, iOS, and the web UI, then resolve the open questions about avatars, federated shares, and mobile space before implementing the agreed design. Done means the federated-share indicator is consistent across the specified clients.
