Description

Actual behaviour

Synchronizing an offline folder cannot be canceled. The action "Synchronisation abbrechen" is displayed when clicking the 3-point menu on the folder, but clicking it only closes the menu and does not cancel the sync.

Expected behaviour

The sync should stop when clicking "Synchronisation abbrechen".

Steps to reproduce

Mark a folder with many files as offline available. Let it sync and try to cancel the sync while the sync is running.

Can this problem be reproduced with the official owncloud server?
Nope.

Environment data

Android version: 13

Device model: Galaxy Tab S8 5G

Stock or customized system:-

ownCloud app version: 4.1.1

ownCloud server version: 4.0.2

Research direction

Start by locating the Android folder three-point menu and the "Synchronisation abbrechen" action, then trace how it connects to the offline-folder synchronization flow. Reproduce the issue with a folder containing many files and verify that selecting the action stops the running sync rather than only closing the menu.
