Distinguish between group folders and external folders

Open vasyugan opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Whenever a group folder is added, users of the desktop client get a notification about an "external" folder having been added. Also, the settings have a checkbox only for external folders, without hinting that it also applies to group folders. This is misleading.

In fact, all group folders we have are internal to our organisation. Lumping them together with external folders adds to the confusion which causes many non-techy users to miss out on our group folders, until they are given personal assistance. That's my daily experience as an admin.

In addition, rather than just getting a transient notification, users should be prompted whether they want to sync the folder.

Users see Group Folders (and we only have Group Folders) when

  • they use the Android client
  • and when using a Web browser
  • and if using WebDav

But not when they use the Windows Client.

Very hard to understand the difference in behaviour.

So fully support this Feature Request.
