Description

Downside is that we introduce groupfolder specific implementation inside the server repo.

That was the case before already, now it is just differently implemented. Nevertheless, perhaps as a follow up to server 24 only? it would be good to have a storage agnostic solution to do the right thing. It could also be an additional interface that can be tested against.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points to begin with. First clarify the storage-agnostic interface, how one id should be shared across multiple storages, and whether the groupfolder-specific implementation is in scope. Done should include an agreed interface and tests covering the shared-id behavior.
