1. Open the link under user account.

that means: using the link when you are logged in?

I would not necessarily expect to open it within my account automatically. I would expect and prefer to see the normal "public" view like it is now. But I agree that there should be a button/link to change the view to the nextcloud account.

I would disagree to automatically change to account view.

Yep, the same or different user.

I've faced with the following:

1. User opened sharing link multiple times and multiple times clicked to Add to my Nexcloud button.
2. So user has multiple copies of folder in additions to copy of folder shared by regular username. 😞 😥

If nexcloud have view to the nextcloud account feature it will solve this issue.

we could replace the Add to my Nextcloud button by a view in my Nextcloud Account button in case the user is logged in because it makes more sense this way.
That would only be bad for users who are logged in to this nextcloud instance and want to add the public link to another nextcloud server.

[mahnunchik]

Add to my Nextcloud - adds copy of public folder even user already has access to it (or added it before).

[hajika]

Thats why this button doesn't make sense in my opinion when the user is logged in and has access to the file.

[mahnunchik]

Another solution to button view in my Nextcloud Account is to show to the user full path to the files/folder in their nexcloud without any redirects.

So the "public" view will show:

• Just / Folder if user does not have access.
• / Path / To / Folder if user have access.
