As far as I remember this question has been asked and answered a couple of days ago. So using the search function of this forum should help you finding an answer.

  • Is there a way to get list of file in a directory ?

There is currently no ready-to-use function within Nextcloud. You might use the workflow_scripts app or set-up a cronjob to create such a file list.

  • or readme file in the ZIP file when we download a directory ?

Create a readme-file in each directory, e.g. by using the README.md app so that it can be included in a zip file.

That was not the question as I understood it.

  • You asked if a function exists to create a directory list → my answer was “NO”.

  • You asked how you can add a readme file to an archive → my answer was to manually create one in the desired directory, by installing and usin the README.md app. If you’re going to create a zip file which contains the whole directory content, the file should usually be added as part of it.

Ok thanx , but the readme its not automaticly filled with the list of file in the directory ?

No, how should the file be populated? MY assumtion was that you manually want to create a file which contains a description of the content etc.
