Description

We should consider adding a brief info text into the sharing sidebar if a federated share was created through the "Add to your Nextcloud" function. The current behaviour could potentially confuse users where such a share came from.

Research direction

Start by locating the sharing sidebar and the "Add to your Nextcloud" federated-share flow in the Nextcloud server code. Confirm how these shares are identified, then determine where the brief explanatory text should appear and verify that it is shown only for shares created through that function.
