Does groupfolders not use encryption?

Hi all, I’m relatively new to using nextcloud, in testing stages…

We’re testing groupfolders at the moment and noticed files added are not encrypted. We tested by adding a text file to a group folder and we were able to view it via the shell. Text files created in user folders were not readable so we know encryption is working there.

Is encryption simply not supported with groupfolders or is there something I’m missing?

Thanks!

Unfortunately it is not supported (yet).

And now, is it supported yet in Nextcloud 19.x?

Note: encrypting the contents of group folders is currently not supported.
