Get current user context

How do I get current user context in external files storage provider? I mean something that would work universally, in particular when executing occ command such as “occ files:scan --all”. I tried \OC_User::getUser(), but it does not seem to work. I also looked through code, but this did not give me any ideas unfortunately. Any help anyone?

I am not sure if I get the question right.

but for “–all” you need to loop the users in your app on your own.
I did it this way:

github.com

Rello/audioplayer/blob/master/lib/Command/Scan.php#L56-L68


	protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output) {
		if ($input->getOption('all')) {
			$users = $this->userManager->search('');
		} else {
			$users = $input->getArgument('user_id');
		}


		if (count($users) === 0) {
			$output->writeln("<error>Please specify a valid user id to scan, \"--all\" to scan for all users<error>");
			return;
		}
		
		foreach ($users as $userId) {

I am implementing a Storage interface and inside my implementation I need to know the context. I found a way to find out the user for which my provider is called by:
$user = \OC\Files\Filesystem::getOwner(’/’);

This looks somewhat hacky though. On the plus side it works for both normal operation and file scanning
