@MichaelTiernan your error has no link to the one reported here, see ReceiveExternalFilesActivity within the initial post which posts to files shared to Nextcloud via Androids share Action from within another app. Yours is a duplicate of #4792 - please comment over there so we have all info in one central place and it be important where you create the folder (root, or sub-directory for example).

[tobiasKaminsky]

@zicmama do you know when an how this occurs? Can you reliable reproduce it?

[MichaelTiernan]

@MichaelTiernan your error has no link to the one reported here, s

Thanks for the correction.

I'll revist this more carefully.

Based on what @AndyScherzinger said I revisited it.
I believe him when he states that this is not the same as the issue #4792 and have looked more carefully and updated that ticket with more info.

To that end, you may ignore my comments on this issue but other's may have more to say on it.

@Shagequi does your fix also work in this scenario (create folder NPE)

[tobiasKaminsky]

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_

I tested this with 3.11 RC2, and it worked.
Can you verify? :-)
