Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Unexperienced users don't know what to do with a downloaded file in an unsupported format, so e.g. if you have a TIFF file, there is only an option to download it, but on standard android devices, the file cannot be opened afterwards anyway.

Describe the solution you'd like When uploading unsupported files, show a warning like

you are uploading a TIFF file, this is file cannot be viewed inside Nextcloud. do you still want to upload?

I believe this is great message for non so techy users, but it should be a setting to turn off this messages!

It seems more it would be the downloads that are the issue, not the uploads.

The support for opening a given file format is dependent on a mixture of native client support on that device + OS support + third-party apps installed.

So not sure this is as easy as it may seem on the surface to implement in the real world. :thinking:
