TYPO3 Core

Forgot to mention: this happens under TYPO3 6.2.9

So if I understand you request correctly you want in BackendUserAuthentication::getDefaultUploadFolder() to first check the default storage before looping through all available storages to find the default upload folder.

Something like:

    /**
     * Returns a \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Folder object that is used for uploading
     * files by default.
     * This is used for RTE and its magic images, as well as uploads
     * in the TCEforms fields, unless otherwise configured (will be added in the future)
     *
     * the default upload folder for a user is the defaultFolder on the first
     * filestorage/filemount that the user can access
     * however, you can set the users' upload folder like this:
     *
     * options.defaultUploadFolder = 3:myfolder/yourfolder/
     *
     * @return \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Folder|boolean The default upload folder for this user
     */
    public function getDefaultUploadFolder() {
        $uploadFolder = $this->getTSConfigVal('options.defaultUploadFolder');
        if ($uploadFolder) {
            $uploadFolder = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\ResourceFactory::getInstance()->getFolderObjectFromCombinedIdentifier($uploadFolder);
        } else {
            foreach($this->getFileStorages() as $storage) {
                if ($storage->isDefault()) {
                    try {
                        $uploadFolder = $storage->getDefaultFolder();
                        break;
                    } catch (\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Exception $folderAccessException) {
                        // If the folder is not accessible (no permissions / does not exist) we skip this one.
                    }
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (!$uploadFolder instanceof \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Folder) {
                /** @var ResourceStorage $storage */
                foreach ($this->getFileStorages() as $storage) {
                    try {
                        $uploadFolder = $storage->getDefaultFolder();
                        break;
                    } catch (\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Exception $folderAccessException) {
                        // If the folder is not accessible (no permissions / does not exist) try the next one.
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        if ($uploadFolder instanceof \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Folder) {
            return $uploadFolder;
        } else {
            return FALSE;
        }
    }

Hi, Frans.

Yes, your posted code is the exact solution, I'd like to see in a core =)
