⚠️ Before posting ⚠️

  • This is a bug, not a question or an enhancement.
  • I've searched for similar issues and didn't find a duplicate.
  • I've written a clear and descriptive title for this issue, not just "Bug" or "Crash".
  • I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a folder on the server that uses a unicode symbol that uses a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner), like "Testfolder 🏳️‍⚧️"
  2. Use the Android App to upload (doesn't matter if you're using the share menu from a file or using the Nextcloud Apps upload function) to upload any file into that folder
  3. The Android App will create a new folder, using the unicode symbol, but stripping the ZWJ (in my example a folder called "Testfolder 🏳️⚧️" is created)

Expected behaviour

The Android app shouldn't create a new folder, it should use the folder I selected. This also worked before, not sure what changed in the last (or last few?) versions.

Actual behaviour

See above.

The test version only removes the control characters, which resolves the issue, but it affects Windows filename compatibility.

Is the "Enforce Windows Compatibility" setting enabled in the Basic settings on the web? If it is not, the proper solution would be to skip the AutoRename logic.

I will discuss this with the team, and we will provide a solution for both cases.
