Hi,
It seems that the Desktop clients don’t provide the ability to encrypt a folder that is not directly at the root.
Could you confirm if this is by design, a server limitation, or just a client limitation? (snapshots below)
Thanks,

Root Folders :
Sub Folders :
Anyone ? we’re building a new backend for nextcloud that will be available for any nextcloud users.
This feature is essential to us.
Thanks,

Hmm. This was a very recent change in the Desktop client via PR #7062 and via PR #7016. I’m not sure the driver for the underlying limit.
This is not an E2EE RFC design limitation IIRC. To my knowledge this is supported, for example, in the Android client.
Going through PR you shared, seems like a feature limit :
**only add encrypt menu entry for top folders**
with current end-to-end encryption only top folders can be encrypted
limit the availability of the menu entry to top folders
