Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Start ownCloud App
  2. Use one ownCloud Account
  3. Watch File list
Expected behaviour

Top bar should always tell the user where in the app he is located, e.g.: »File list« or »my files«

Additional Comments

The right wording should be tested with users or at least discussed in a group to avoid misunderstanding for the user.

Actual behaviour

Top bar just shows a slash »/«. Technically it means the root directory but a user that is not IT savvy is left in the unknown, what he can expect here.

Client

iOS version:
12.0.1

ownCloud app version:
1.0 build 85

Device model:
iPhone 7

Review the expected wording with maintainers or users, then verify that the top bar clearly identifies the current location and that the result matches the agreed terminology.
