Research direction

Reproduce the team-share flow with Alice's incoming-share directory configured as /Shared with me, using the reported Nextcloud 31.0.2 setup. Trace the handling of incoming team shares and verify that shared files and folders land in the configured directory rather than /; the issue names no source files or tests.
