Description
The problem
Currently we have two definitions of "group of people" in Nextcloud: Teams and Groups. This creates confusion among users.
Possible solution
-
Call all groups of people "Teams". Does the non admin user need to know whether they're sharing to an admin-managed group or to a team-member-managed one?
- To help differentiate, work with team premissions or team "types" using adjectives.
-
One unified interface to create and edit teams. Only admins will retain the ability to create
- Offer presets with different permissions set at creation, e.g. Microsoft teams:
-
Rename "Groupfolders" into "team folders"

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how Teams, Groups, and Groupfolders are currently represented and exposed, then define the affected interfaces and permission behavior before implementation; done would require an agreed unified terminology and design across those areas.
