Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I dont like how E2EE-enabled folders are constantly visually differentiated / highlighted on web:

I also dont feel the phrase "you dont have permission to upload or create files" is appropriate for a server admin/owner to display. Moreoever, Im not able to delete the E2EE folder as a whole but I can remove files individually.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Remove constant higlight for E2EE folders
• Explain that plain non-encrypted files cannot be uploaded through web but not in a way that would question one's permissions as an admin
• Be able to delete whole E2EE folder from web ?

You can modify the source code to remove the highlight on E2EE folders if you don't like it. I don't personally feel that needs to be changed.

I shouldve specified I dont see any reason why E2EE folders should be highlighted. If anything, they should appear hidden/at the bottom as their content cannot be viewed through web app (although I dont suggest that). Highlighting suggests importance but I dont see it.

If somebody wants to implement this feature nevertheless we are happy to assist and help out.If you wish to have this feature implemented by the Nextcloud GmbH there is the option for consulting work on top of your Nextcloud Enterprise subscription to get your features implemented.
