[geekykid12]

Steps to reproduce

1. scp a file into the data directory as root that nextcloud is using
2. chown the file to set user and group to www-data
3. force nextcloud to scan for new files

Expected behaviour

Activity stream should show that the file was created at X time

Actual behaviour

Activity stream states that there is No Activity yet
