Description
During the weekend I had a chat with a Nextcloud user who uses the Nextcloud of one of our customers and got some useful feedback.
He told me that they use the share by mail feature quite often but they are always confused wheter the mail was send or not and if there exists a working link. So what they do most of the time: call or message the recipient and ask if they received the share.
Therefore he suggested to send a second mail with the link to the creator. Something like
You just shared file/folder <name> with <recipient email address>
That's their personal link <link>
This would first affirm that something happened and the creator could also test the link to see that everything works as expected.

Research direction

Start by locating the server-side “share by mail” flow and its mail templates, then determine how to send the creator a second message containing the recipient address and personal link; done means the creator receives that confirmation with a working link.
