I also have this problem in this function
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String com.owncloud.android.datamodel.OCFile.getRemotePath()' on a null object reference
at
com.owncloud.android.utils.FileStorageUtils.checkEncryption.nStatus(FileStorageUtils.java440)...

@tobiasKaminsky seems to happen on several occasions.

Happened today with while setting up instant upload folder, with the same stacktrace as in the description:

I originally posted this as part of #5081 by error (my own, sorry)

I'll go back and collect more specific details to add.

Reproduced easily for me... on two diff devices.

1. Select _Auto upload_
2. Select _Set up a custom folder_
3. Select _Remote folder_
4. Select _New folder_
5. Enter any name press _Create_

BOOM

A more careful trial...

Create folder from android tablet at top level
Works fine

Scenario #1:

1. Choose "Auto upload"
2. Picked 'screenshots'
3. Enabled preferences for autouploading
4. Choose "Remote Folder"
   Presented with top level view.
5. Choose "New Folder"
6. Enter anything and select "Create"

Boom

Senario #2:

1. Choose "Auto upload"
2. Picked 'screenshots'
3. Enabled preferences for autouploading
4. Choose "Remote Folder"
   Presented with top level view.
5. Choose existing sub folder
6. Choose "New Folder"
7. Enter anything and select "Create"

Works

cc @tobiasKaminsky since reports are pilling up

@AndyScherzinger @tobiasKaminsky
Good morning,
This bug happens only in the "root" because mFile is empty in FileActivity when we're in the root (/) folder.
I'm working on a fix
