Description
Actually, when a new mount point is attached to the server, client side handles it as another folder in the structure.
Following the line of the server, setting a different icon for those folders that contain mount points will help users to differentiate.
This is the icon used in oC10:

In the PROPFIND response, a mount point include the M (root mounted) or m (subfolder of mounted) in the property <oc:permissions>

Research direction
Start by tracing how the iOS client parses the PROPFIND oc:permissions property and how folder icons are selected. Check how the M and m markers identify mount points, then follow the folder model into the relevant UI. Done means mounted folders are visually distinct from ordinary folders, matching the requested behavior and icon reference.
