Hi Team!
There are shared folders that one user added.
Then this user renamed some folders, but everyone who has access to files and folders sees the old folder name.
Is it possible to synchronize folder names after changing them automatically or manually so that others see the current folder names?
We see this problem in both the new and old versions:
Nextcloud Hub 8 (29.0.1)
Nextcloud 24.0.1

### Expected behaviour
All users should see the same new folder name
### Actual behaviour

**PHP version: 5.5.38
**Nextcloud version:10.0.1 (stable)
**Updated from an older Nextcloud/ownCloud or fresh install:updated from old ownCloud
**Where did you install Nextcloud from:**
**Signing status:**

**The content of config/config.php:**
<details>
<summary>Config report</summary>

**Are you using an external user-backend, if yes which one:** LDAP/ActiveDirectory/Webdav/...
#### LDAP configuration (delete this part if not used)
<details>
<summary>LDAP config</summary>
```
With access to your command line run e.g.:
sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:show-config
from within your Nextcloud installation folder
Without access to your command line download the data/owncloud.db to your local
computer or access your SQL server remotely and run the select query:
SELECT * FROM `oc_appconfig` WHERE `appid` = 'user_ldap';
Eventually replace sensitive data as the name/IP-address of your LDAP server or groups.

If you unshare the folder and then share it again, shouldn’t it then take the current name?
Alekss:
Nextcloud Hub 8 (29.0.1)
29.0.13 is the current version:
These minor releases fix a lot of bugs and since they do not introduce new features/dependencies, there should be much less risk compared to full upgrades.

The problem is that general access is provided from the parent folder and there is a point division of rights everywhere and I really don’t want to remove it and add it again, it’s inconvenient and can affect other folders and subfolders.

Yes, but as I understand it, no decision has been made on it.

So it is a subfolder that is remained, not the main folder that was shared? To clarify, can you give steps to reproduce the problem?
Yes, but just that you see what the current state is, what to expect currently, and what might be changed or not.
