Rename attachment before saving to cloud

[pawelbielesz]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any email with an attachment in the Mail app.

2. Click “Save to cloud” on the attachment.

3. The file is saved to Nextcloud Files automatically using the original MIME filename.

4. There is no option to change the filename during this action.

Expected behavior

Before saving, the user should be able to rename the attachment, e.g. via a small dialog showing the current filename with an editable input field.

The backend already supports saving with a custom filename, so the UI should expose this option.

Actual behavior

The attachment is saved with the original filename only.

Users must go to Files afterward and rename the file manually, which slows down workflows, especially with repetitive generic filenames (e.g. invoice.pdf, image001.jpg).

Thanks for the ticket.

This is not a bug. This is a missing feature. I agree that it would be useful. Tagging it as accepted.
