Steps to reproduce

Connect external drive.

Expected behaviour

Nextcloud should ask for each external drive with notification each time they connected. As well as should be an option to disable notification completely.

Actual behaviour

Nextcloud starts scanning it instantly draining the battery to zero and spamming with thousands of notifications about new folders with media, beeping on each. Beep beep beep, for half a hour if there are thousands of them.

I don't believe the scanning itself is Nextcloud, but Android's Media Scanner. The notifications however...

As well as should be an option to disable notification completely.

If you expand the first notification there is a button to the left that says Disable which will do precisely that. It disables notifications about any new found media folders from the media scan.

If Nextcloud dropping notifications, then i guess it does some kind of scanning as well.

Wouldn't that disable Nextcloud notifications entirely? But still, it would be better to disable it for USB devices with just one notification, whatever to scan for new folders or not.
