Folder Description does not show like it should in shared links

💻 Development

I’m not sure if this feature was intended or overlooked, but I feel like the folder description should show as if it is in normal user mode.

This is how it looks with the shared link:

Which, as you can see, doesn’t show anything on top of the screen.

There needs to be a feature where you can see the folder description in a shared link.

Hi,

This category is intended for active developers of the core or apps in the Nextcloud ecosystem.
From the description in your topic, it is not clear if you are seeking help and advice about a concrete problem you have or you want to actually develop the corresponding solution.

I was kind of hoping is was in this area, this is more of a feature request than anything.

  1. What you want to achieve
  2. What you have done so far
  3. What is failing
  4. What you expect from the forum community
  1. What I was trying to do was to find a feature to allow a folder description to be shown on top of the page like it does in a normal view, but for shared folders.
  2. I’ve looked everywhere in Nextcloud setting and the advanced sharing menu to look for an option to show the folder description i’ve made for the top of the page. As well as looking of the forum for a solution.
  3. I’m just not seeing an option to have a folder description show for a shared link. The Readme.md file is there, sure, but it’s not presented on top of the page like it should be.
  4. Perhaps this being an implemented feature in a minor update? :point_right: :point_left:
