Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am using Nextcloud to share documents with my high school students, as well as to collect homework. For collection, the students are supposed to be able to drop files into a folder (for a given assignment), but should not see other students' documents. Therefore, I use a share link configured as file drop only.
It frustrates me that I have to it this way, namely, to create a folder, configure it and distribute the link.
Describe the solution you'd like
I wish I could simply share a folder with a group and set it to file drop, i.e. the users in the group can see the folder and upload files to it, but cannot see its content.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The only other way to create a pure drop box would be as described above.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the implementation of internal folder sharing and the existing file-drop behavior; done means a group can access a shared folder, upload files, and cannot view other contents.
