Description

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

Bug description

If a user uploads a file and is prevented for uploads. For example as a Guest user or that a flow prevents the upload. The user is sent a quite cryptic internal server error instead of a more proper Not allowed error.

Nextcloud is throwing a not permitted exception. in the logs but the frontend doesnt handle that and shows a generic nextcloud error.

Image

This exception should be caught and show a more descriptive error. For example could not create folder to upload (in the case of deck and guests) Or path not allowed to upload to in case of a blocking flow.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a flow that prevents an upload
  2. Try to upload a file
  3. Get the internal server error

OR

  1. login as guest user
  2. try to upload a file in Deck for example.
  3. Get the internal server error

Expected behavior

Get a permission denied error
