Description
Hello,
I have two suggestions for improving Nextcloud:
The ability to rename multiple folders simultaneously instead of doing each one individually. Currently, batch renaming is not supported, which makes managing many folders cumbersome.
When a folder's name is changed, users who already have access and have it open do not see the updated name immediately. To reflect the change, I have to remove and reassign their permissions, which is inefficient.
Please consider adding these features to enhance usability and administrative convenience.
Thank you.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First separate the batch-folder-renaming request from the shared-folder name-refresh request, then locate the relevant folder and sharing flows; done would require both behaviors to work without manually reassigning permissions.
