office files can't open in group folder

[the-matzup]

Office files in group folders (Addon), cannot be opened with the two Office programs (Collabora Online & Only Office). There is an unspecific error message when trying to open or create the file.

The problem does not appear in the browser. Even outside the group folders the office programs work inside the Nextcloud iOS app. Therefore, the problem is specifically between the Nextcloud app and the group folders.

Nextcloud Server: 18.0.4 Nextcloud App (2.25.9.2) on iPadOS (13.4.1)

This error in the app occurs only with users who do not have the rights to share. I found that out for debugging purposes.

this error still present on App Version 3.0 on iOS 13.5 - open or creating documents with the apps in group folders results in error 500. the "workaround" by granting share permissions to the folder in question does only work in browser access, not in the iOS App, it's not possible to create new documents or open/edit existing documents, even with share permissions granted. In the Documents app from OnlyOffice this error does not occur, you can create and edit documents even in group folders.

As seen in the errors in the app and in the error logs on the server, it looks like that the app searches the file within the users personal files and not within the groupfolder.
