## Feature request

**Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using:** (see administration page)
Desktop client 3.16.4 (Win 11)
Web server version 31.0.5

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When creating a public share link from the explorer Right Click menu, it is not possible to specify the setting "Show files in Grid View" as it is in the web UI.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Add the option to "Show files in Grid View" when setting up a share from the desktop client.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I wrote a script in Dopus to generate links via the API as there were too many button clicks in the desktop client.
In an ideal world it'd be nice if you could set parameters for a default set of share settings, and just "Copy Link" from the Right click menu in explorer, as often the same settings are just fine for most shares and there's currently a lot of what feels like unnecessary clicking to generate a public link.

**Additional context**
Workload is perpetually sharing galleries of deliverables to clients, so this option has to go on 99% of links generated.
