Description
Steps to reproduce
1. Start ownCloud Application
2. Watch first screen
Expected behaviour
The Browse Button should be recognizable as a home button
Actual behaviour
The »Browse« Button in the bottom bar is confusing in many ways. It links to the »home screen« of the current ownCloud and therefore should be named as »home« or »root directory«. It’s also confusing because it never changes its state, it’s always blue, so the user sees no difference if he’s already in the home screen or a subfolder. As there are no other items in the bottom bar the position or need of this button should be questioned, it looks like a tab navigation component but doesn’t work like this.
Client

12.0.1

Research direction
Start at the app’s first screen and the bottom-bar Browse control, using the reproduction steps and screenshot to trace its navigation behavior. Define whether the control should be renamed, made stateful, repositioned, or removed, then verify the resulting home or root-directory navigation and selected-state behavior.
