Description

Steps to reproduce
  • Create a Group folder under the Administration
  • Add a user's group to that folder
  • A member of that group creates a new onlyoffice sheet
  • Share the file with a Guest user (new or existing)
  • Guest user gets a notification, visit it
  • The shared file has a the right name, but shown as a folder instead of file
  • Clicking on it as the Guest opens the folder, which is empty
Expected behaviour

Guest user should see and access the file, not a folder with that name.
It is working as expected outside of Group folder, in other words it works in case of standard folders.

Actual behaviour

The shared file in the Group folder appears as folder, not file and behave like that: clicking on it we enter the folder, instead of opening it as file.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the guest-sharing flow with a file created in a Group folder, comparing it with the standard-folder flow described in the issue. Trace the guest notification and file entry handling; done means the shared XLSX is identified as a file and opens for the guest instead of appearing as an empty folder.
