Description

The people listed in the "Others with access" section in the Sharing sidebar have an action menu which includes who invited them and via which folder.

If you do not have access to that folder (which you often do not) it just shows "Via folder" and the entry is not clickable. In this case simply say "Via parent folder" and not make it clickable.

Research direction

Start by searching the Sharing sidebar implementation for the “Others with access” section and the “Via folder” label; review referenced issue #18716 for context. Done when entries without folder access display “Via parent folder” and are non-clickable, while entries with access retain the folder details.
