Description

When clicking Shared to Circles in the left side of the Files app, I'd like to see everything I've shared to circles in a clear list. Thanks! @daita

In the files app, users can select Shared to Circle from the left hand menu.

This action is confusing, because unlike other menu options it will not return a list of files and folders. Instead, the user sees this almost blank page:

To see what they have shared with each and every circle, the user must:

  1. Click Select circles to filter by
  2. Select one circle at a time.
  3. Wait a few seconds for the page to refresh with any results.
  4. Repeat Step 1 until every circle is selected

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Files app's Shared to Circles entry point and reviewing how circle filters are selected and refreshed. Done means the view presents everything shared to circles in a clear list without requiring users to select each circle individually.
