Description

I like how stupid convenient sharing by E-Mail is (share folder, for example), however, I really would like a "send share E-Mail" button or something like that.

Firstly, for confirmation that it has actually sent.

Secondly, so I don't fat-finger and send the share to the wrong person by mistake, then cancel, and some rando gets an E-Mail I really don't want them to know about.

So, maybe make it a touch more "manual" so we have a nice "clicky" "tactile feedback" thing? ;)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the sharing-by-email flow and its current confirmation behavior; the work is done when sending requires an explicit confirmation action and the user receives clear feedback that the email was sent.
