Description
- Android @tobiasKaminsky
- Desktop @er-vin
- iOS @marinofaggiana
- Server https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/24635
Steps to reproduce:
- Share a file as user0 with user1
- As user1 share the file via email to foobar@example.com
- As user0 try to share the file to foobar@example.com
The main issue here is that the share list doesn't clearly indicate that the file was already shared with that email address, only that it was shared with a link by user1.
