Missing "Select & upload files" button for editors

Description
Hi all :)
The "Select & upload files" button has disappeared for my editors since Typo3 7.6.4.
I created a storage with the path fileadmin/user_upload/ and a file mount attached to this.
The backend usergroup of the editors has this file mount.
That worked in Typo3 7.6 until 7.6.4.
Any idea ?
What's wrong with this configuration ?
Thanks a lot ! :)

As editor do you have access to the folder in the file list module?
Yes, as I wrote, I created a file mount (named "Uploads") attache to a storage with fileadmin/user_upload/.
So as editor, I saw the root "Uploads" (see attached picture).
This root contains all the files that have been previously uploaded when the button was displayed.
So no new configuration/install but it just broke after an update from 7.6.3 to 7.6.4?
Yes, all the site that we have in 7.6.4 version have the same behaviour.
Antoine, can you tell us more about how to reproduce your problem? I am not able to reproduce it with both 7.6.6 and 8.2-dev
Plus, I feel that the correct place to dicuss this is Slack.
It's very strange...
I have 3 typo3 v7.6.9. Only one have this problem ...
Can you just explain to me the right way to do this ?
The user needs also a filemount to user_upload folder. Can you try this?
Please also double check the user settings of the editor. There is a setting to allow direct upload in BE forms.
Thanks for your response, but I don't see this setting in BE User Forms.
Is it a TS Config setting ?
You find it under the tab "Edit & advanced functions" and it's labeled "File upload directly in Doc-module"
It's not in de edit BE user record but in the user settings. So in 7.6 click on the avatar in the top bar there you find the button to the user settings
Thank you, it works ;)
Is there a way to configure this setting by default ?
There's more to mention:
Given the fact, that an editor (non-admin) has only access via a dedicated file-mount to e.g. "fileadmin/my_space/" then the upload-folder needs to be defined for that user/group using User TSconfig:
options.defaultUploadFolder = fileadmin/my_space/user_upload/
Using 1:/my_space/user_upload/
here would be the preferred way to circumvent the default/zero storage...
We could derive a feature from that to automatically create a dedicated user's upload folder in case none is defined, like e.g. using 1:/[hashed username]/upload_folder/
. Using a hashed folder name avoids information disclosure on available usernames in that regard...

Closing here as the bug itself was no bug. If someone wants to implement the mentioned feature please open a new ticket.
