Description

@saw-jan

Desktop client can sync files with .url extension (see https://fileinfo.com/extension/url). In windows, these .url file opens in respective application but linux lacks this feature (not sure about MacOS).

From owncloud/ocis#7940 (comment)

Ubuntu22.04 (desktop-client 5.2.0):

  • .url files get synced
  • no application to open it

Please open client docs issue. We should document this Ubuntu limitation and possible workarounds.
