Folder Protection 2.0.0
Release Details
UpdatedMarch 3, 2026, 11:28 p.m.
Changelog

Added

  • Group Folder support: protect group folders by their internal ID (/__groupfolders/N) without requiring the admin to be a group member
  • Admin panel: two-tab modal ("Group Folders" and "Custom Path") for adding protections; gracefully degrades to single form when the groupfolders app is not installed
  • API endpoint GET /api/groupfolders listing all group folders with their protection status
  • API endpoint GET /api/status now emits /files/<mountPoint> aliases for group folder paths so the web UI badge system can match them by visible name
  • ProtectionPropertyPlugin: removes the D flag from oc:permissions for protected folders so the Nextcloud desktop client does not attempt deletion locally

Changed

  • Desktop sync recovery: on a blocked DELETE or MOVE, the server updates the node's ETag and mtime so the sync client detects the server state as "newer" and restores the folder instead of showing a permanent sync error
  • Database migrations consolidated from versions 1–4 into a single clean migration (Version 2); existing installations are not affected
  • App version bumped to 2.0.0
  • Admin list now shows the visible mount point name alongside internal /__groupfolders/N paths, making it easier to remember which folder is which

Fixed

  • Group folder path detection in ProtectionPlugin and ProtectionPropertyPlugin: DAV nodes backed by a group folder storage are now correctly resolved to __groupfolders/N by traversing the storage wrapper chain via getWrapperStorage() / getFolderId()
  • Lock icon badge now appears on group folders in the web file browser (path alias fix in /api/status)
  • COPY operations on group folders are now correctly blocked

  • Admin list now shows the visible mount point name alongside internal /__groupfolders/N paths, making it easier to remember which folder is which

Fixed

  • Group folder path detection in ProtectionPlugin and ProtectionPropertyPlugin: DAV nodes backed by a group folder storage are now correctly resolved to __groupfolders/N by traversing the storage wrapper chain via getWrapperStorage() / getFolderId()
  • Lock icon badge now appears on group folders in the web file browser (path alias fix in /api/status)
  • COPY operations on group folders are now correctly blocked
