Nextcloud name for nextcloud accounts in the windows explorer bookmarks section

BlackMamba · August 3, 2023, 9:36am

Hello,
I would like that in the windows explorer in the “bookmarks bar column”(? I dont know how it is called) my nextcloud accounts have the name of the Online URL. Sometimes it works but somestimes it is just called “Nextcloud”.

Where does this name derive from? Can it be renamed somehow? Is it possible that all names include the URL? In the image you can see what I mean:

For Windows 11, it seems they are always just called “Nextcloud”. There is a report on the bug tracker:

All of them have the same name in the Quick Access area in Windows Explorer. Each time I want to dive into one, it is the luck of the draw, will it be the right one ? I remember in the past having different names to distinguish the folders, but at some point it disappeared. I run another user on the same laptop, for this other user, different accounts have different names in the quick access area. I finished by unistalling / reinstalling completely NExtcloud desktop client, removing the content of %appdata%/Nextcloud, but the problem still persists. I'd appreciate help :) Thank you ! ### Steps to reproduce No idea ### Expected behavior When clicking on the share dialog, share by e-mail should be an option. ... ### Which files are affected by this bug - ### Operating system Windows ### Which version of the operating system you are running.
