Ios: Can't add Nextcloud folders in other apps

[helmut72]

Expected behaviour

Add Nextcloud folders in other apps, eg. in Textastic. There are only a few complete first class file storage citizen on iOS who supports this feature, eg. Working Copy or Secure Shell Fish

This is what I mean:

Actual behaviour

Can't add Nextcloud folders in Textastic or 1Writer - Nextcloud storage is just greyed out.

Steps to reproduce

Open Textastic or 1Writer (or any other app which supports adding folders) and try it with Nextcloud storage provider.

iOS version

13.1 (but it never worked, even with iOS 12)

App version

2.24.1 (also never worked before)

Server configuration

Doesn't matter, it's an iOS topic

Maybe this helps for the right direction, especially for iOS 13 and up:

I know that bumping an issue via commenting is not good practice, but I would like to emphasize the importance of this feature. Without it, there are many scenarios where Nextcloud is currently unusable as a storage provider. My particular use case is to store my Markdown notes in a Nextcloud folder and use iA Writer on my iPad to access those notes. Currently, this is not possible.

@helmut72's linked tweet also makes it seem like this is just an issue of setting a boolean value in a configuration file, so it shouldn't even be much work to add this feature.

Same problem with the integration of Ulysses with the Nextcloud Files-integration. It's just grayed out; so only Dropbox is usable with it :(
