Description
In order to have previews on our mobiles of encrypted images we need to enhance our thumbnail endpoint as the server cannot generate the thumbnails:
- client uploads file
- client put encrypted thumbnail on thumbnail endpoint for specific file
Another client can then download the metadata file of the folder, decrypt it, download the encrypted thumbnail, decrypt & show it.

Research direction
Start by tracing the server's thumbnail endpoint and the folder metadata flow described in the issue. Verify how a client uploads an encrypted thumbnail for a specific file, and how another client downloads and decrypts it; done means encrypted image previews work on mobile without server-side thumbnail generation.
