Description

Comes from https://github.com/owncloud/ios-app/pull/445#issuecomment-514676923

If a user'd have two accounts in the same server with same name, the accounts are not distinguisable in Share Sheet and in Bookmark list.

This is a extreme corner case, so low prioritized. Showing the username together with such info is the best solution.

Research direction

Trace how account names are presented in the Share Sheet and Bookmark list, starting from those entry points in the iOS app. Reproduce the case with two accounts sharing a name, then verify that the displayed information distinguishes them by also showing the username.
