Description

In shares, there is a Security view that allows a user to see a file but forbids to download the file and hides the "Download" button from the UI.

It works for internal user share and internal group share. But it doesn't work for a circle.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a circle
  2. Share a file with a circle
  3. Check "Read" permission
  4. Uncheck all other permissions, including "Download"

Expected behavior:

A user cannot download the file

Actual behavior:

A user can download the file
