[Bug]: Can't put custom wallpaper / background from personal space

[hezerune]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

On a fresh Nextcloud AIO 12.7 install, with NC 33.0.0, with my personal account with admin privileges.

I want to set a custom wallpaper (different from the one set by default in the admin panel). When I go to my personal space in "Appearance and accessibility settings", and click on the "custom background" button, it looks like I have 0 files although the wallpaper I want to use is in my root directory.

Steps to reproduce

From the home page

1. Click on my profile picture
2. Click on "personal settings"
3. Click on "Appearance and accessibility settings"
4. Click on "custom background" (above available default wallpapers)

Expected behavior

It should allow me to access my files and select a wallpaper.

The bug seems to still be present in 34.0.1

Hi @Askrenteam, I was unable to replicate this issue on Nextcloud 34.0.1.

I setup a fresh environment like this:

docker run -it \
--env SERVER_BRANCH=v34.0.1 \
--name nextcloud-easy-test \
--publish 127.0.0.1:8443:443 \
--volume="nextcloud_easy_test_npm_cache_volume:/var/www/.npm" \
ghcr.io/szaimen/nextcloud-easy-test:latest

As can be seen below, the user files from root directory are there to be selected:

[Askrenteam]

That's weird, I will try to investigate the cause of the issue if I have some time.

[Askrenteam]

It seems there is a filter on the file views to display only pictures. This hides everything else including directories. When I put pictures in the root directory, I can see them in "All Files". Likewise, in "Recent", I see only the last pictures I uploaded (which is expected).
I would expect the "All Files" tab to at least display directories to allow me to browse my files.

Still present in 33.0.6 too
