Steps to reproduce

1. Add a external folder under "External storage" setting (Amazon S3 in our case)
2. Change the "Attachment folder" settings for Talk to use the new external storage folder.
3. Try sending an attachment message (It will fail)
4. Ctrl+r to refresh the client.
5. Check the "Attachment folder" settings for talk - it had reset to /Talk

Expected behaviour

It should keep using the external storage folder - the online talk client keeps this setting and works fine.

Actual behaviour

It uploads the attachment to the external storage folder successfully - but the message never get's sent to the contact.

After reloading it resets the "Attachment folder" to /Talk.

Tested on Debian, POP_OS! & Ubuntu

Both requests seem to return error 404:

index.js:1 Error while sharing file: You are not allowed to share dbgateIcon.png

Logged message content comes from server code, not Talk app: 'You are not allowed to share dbgateIcon.png', we only parse it:

• console.error('Error while sharing file: ' + error.response.data.ocs.meta.message)

Can you try to screenshot (or extract somehow) full error objects from you browser console? Maybe it will give more context, maybe response content from Network tab can be extracted

P.S. It's reset on refreshed, because cached capabilities in client did not updated (although it should remember new value until the refresh). Please check if the request to change attachments folder by chance didn't get through on Network tab. Or compare with web: successfull request from desktop will be seen on web-page after refresh

Hello

I work with @mich-a-b on this issue. We are now able to share files with the attachment folder.
Though we still have the issue of the flatpak next cloud talk still reverting attachment folder back to "Talk/" upon an refresh of the flatpak app.

The browser next cloud talk does receive the change of attachment folder from the flatpak app.
When the change to attachment folder is made on the flatpak the network that is made is the "user". These screenshot show the network.
