Additional information

Tested with c.nc.com

Until recently links where opened with the files app as expected. This was implemented at the last Nextcloud conference by Tobias and Andy.

I think this is rather Files app issues than a Talk app issue. Right @tobiasKaminsky

Hm. Depends…Talk needs to send it to Files app.
So might be a problem on Talk or Files.

@mahibi can you check this?

from a stupid user perspective: If I click the link on the Talk app and the browser opens, I assume the problem is the Talk app because at this point the Files app was not yet involved. I would expect that the Talk app calls the Files App directly and I thought this is how you implemented it last year in Berlin... But maybe I misunderstood the whole concept.

For me this works fine.

files app 3.28.0
talk app 18.1.0RC2 as well as 19.0.0alpha01

Tested following scenario on sermo and c.n.c:

  1. in web: create file and add other person by search for username in "Search for share recipients" and save share
  2. copy the internal link and paste to chat
  3. have the files app installed with the same user as for talk app
  4. click on link in chat
  5. files app opens and shows the file

Is your scenario somehow different?

Scenario seems to be correct.

I just did a even simpler test.

  1. Copy the internal link of a personal file
  2. Send it to me via Talk "note to myself"
  3. Open Android Talk App
  4. Click on the link
  5. Firefox on Android opens instead of the files app 😢

My Talk App: 18.1.0 RC2 (only c.nc.com configured)
Files App: 3.28.0 (two accounts configured, c.nc.com and private, files app is protected with my fingerprint)
Android: 14 (Samsung One UI 6.1)

seems i did not send my answer last week..

I saw that there is a different handling for the link itself and the preview image, which should be unified..
Currently the link will check for the files app, the preview image not.

Can you confirm you clicked the preview when it not worked, and if clicking the link itself works?
