Federated shares should use share_folder config setting #540

Closed

Description

Expected behavior

Remote shares should use the "default folder for shared files and folders other than root".
The received file should be stored in the defined folder.

https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/stable9/config/config.sample.php#L1066-L1069

Actual behavior

The received files stored in the root.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Create a federated file share on server one.
  2. Accept the remote file share on server two.
  3. On server two, take a look into the share folder, defined in config.php.

Is it a bug, a feature, or by design?

    I'd say by design and IIRC the setting is deprecated.

    Really? Since when?

    No, it is not deprecated... I think it would make sense to use it for federated shares as well.

    I don't think so, because we have still a lot of other stuff to do for v12
