The current file picker is very basic at the moment – after talking with @jospoortvliet about it we identified some improvements:
Describe the solution you'd like
- File picker: use same sort order as in the main Files view #39185
- File picker: remember last location/folder you were in, not start in root folder every time #39186
- File picker: ability to filter #39187
- File picker: left sidebar with the favorite folders for quick jumping #39188
What do you think @nextcloud/designers – any additional points, and who is interested in doing mockups for it? :)

@jancborchardt since we also had this issue in the main view a while ago:

@AndyScherzinger we could start with Filter in current view rather than search. But also, out of the things listed, that is the least priority issue (also cause probably needs a lot of investment).

Will pick this up for mockups!
Additionally, it would be great to allow sharing via link from the file picker itself wherever appropriate. Related issue: nextcloud/mail#6080 what do you think?

@nimishavijay sounds good as an additional optional mockup, yep! :)
10 remaining items

@nimishavijay I would strongly recommend to have the search-box on top of the search results like in some of your other mockups. I find it very counterintuitive that the search-box is filtering a list that it's not directly below it.
If the search-box was directly above the results, I think that there would be less need for a heading indicating that a filter is active, and it would be enough to have a
search in "design"placeholder within the search input.susnux commentedon Jul 18, 2023
I like the design and it looks consistent :)
But for mobile I am not sure how this should look like. Should the left side menu simply be moved as a horizontal menu underneath the title (between title and current path)?
Because for the app settings, the left side simply is removed.

As discussed yesterday it can be a dropdown item which is shown above the breadcrumbs bar :)
