Browsing folder with large amount of files on external storage (Local) not working with latest iOS app version 4.1.0

[mrtnd]

Steps to reproduce

1. Update to latest Version. 4.1.0
2. Try to open folder on external storage (Local) with many files in it. In my case more then 4000.

Expected behaviour

Open folder and see all files.

Actual behaviour

Folder appears empty on iOS.
Browsing the folder in browser (Chrome, Firefox) works fine. it seems that the iOS client has a bug.

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

It was working fine with the previous version.

Hi thanks for this report, I knows this bug from several years but I don't have a fix from server team.

Hi marinofaggiana, thanks for the reply. I don't think it is a server related. When using a desktop browser, i can browse through folders without problems. It takes couple of seconds till files are shown but it works. It was also working with the previous iOS client version (4.0.6 i think).

It's an issue of WebDAV, registered from me from several years. Ciao
