Research direction

Start by reproducing the listed sequence on Nextcloud 33.0.3.2 with End-to-End Encryption 2.1.1: create a public-link share, upload a file, then share the folder with user2. Trace the access failure and the later encrypted-folder failure. Done means user2 can open the shared folder and create new encrypted folders without either error.
