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.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
