Description
Currently if clients fetch a list of files they receive with "sharees" a list of all shared users, which contains userId, DisplayName, shareType.
To then display avatar clients need to ask server if avatar is changed.
It would be good to have there also eTag exposed, so that clients directly know if their cached avatar is recent enough.

Research direction
Start by locating the server code that builds the files response and its sharees entries, then trace how avatar metadata is represented. Check the existing API tests for sharees or avatars if present. Done means each returned shared user includes an avatar eTag that clients can use to validate cached avatars.
