Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using:
33.0.7daily
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As stated in #10119, Nextcloud windows appear at odd places under Wayland.
Describe the solution you'd like
Since Wayland does not let an app to choose where its windows appear, placement should be requested to the window manager / compositor instead. KWin has a notion of "window rule" to apply such placements to specific windows. Adequate rules should be supplied, or the information should be given to the user so he/she can do it.
Presently, getting the relevant information with KWin's GUI is difficult because the popup tray window disappear when it is engaged. I managed to infer that the window class is nextcloud com.nextcloud.desktopclient.nextcloud and the title is Nextcloud. That lets me place the tray menu at the right place for my setup.
However, since the Share option window uses the exact same class and title, it is also placed at the same position when it pops up, which is undesirable.
Each kind of dialog/window should be distinguishable so that users and their compositors can place them adequately.
