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? :)

Remember last location/folder you were in, not start in root folder every time

#644 time goes by so fast ;)

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

Ability to search in the picker

• 🔎_Search_ or 🌪️_Filter_ (files currently does both, first filters current folder listing, yet searches everywhere in parallel)
• Where would you search? In the folder you are currently in? "Everywhere" files related? (bullet point (1) might implicitly answer it dep4ending on your answer to it)

@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! :)
