Improve the overall design of the grid view.
@nextcloud/designers for mockups

  • Main issue is that file names beyond ~10 characters can't be read.
  • If accessibility can be fixed/improved easily, do that too, but only as low priority.

I'm not sure whether I should open a new issue or not for this but in Nextcloud 29 at least, when filenames are very long it is not possible to see the full name on mobile in any place AFAIK.

The biggest problem IMO is that it's never possible to see the full name of the file. Not even on the details panel.
