The issue
Folders created by apps (like collectives) can’t be moved or changed. They clutter the root directory and it would be wonderful to have the ability to move or change those.

Examples:

  • Groupfolder
  • Collectives
  • Notes
  • Recepies
  • Talk

Alternative solution
It would also suffice for me to have a way to change the

Data

tab in nextcloud, so it doesn’t reference the root data directory but another sub directory. This way i would have a place where only files which i placed there manually would be located. Something like this:

How would i checkout the setup of those apps?

cookbook: open app. goto settings (left lower corner). enter your desired path to recipe-folder

Talk: open app. goto settings (left lower corner). enter your desired path to attachments-directory
