Steps to reproduce
  1. userA shares an e2ee folder with userB as read-only, at least one file inside
  2. userB opens the folder, and on a file, clicks on the sharing button or opens sidebar via details - sees the sharing tab in the right sidebar
  3. none of the provided options in the sharing sidebar work (share internally, share externally via link), this is probably intentional

Research direction

Reproduce the sharing-sidebar steps with Nextcloud 33.0.5 and e2ee app 2.1.1, using a read-only shared folder containing a file. Inspect the sidebar behavior for that file and verify that the completed change shows only sharing options that work for the read-only recipient.
