Description

Hi there,
I have a shared image folder for my family. For each family member (==share) the preview will be generated. Can we avoid this?

Research direction

Start by tracing how the app generates previews for shared image folders and where each share is processed. Determine how duplicate previews arise across family-member shares, then verify that a shared image produces only one preview while all relevant shares can use it.
