Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We want to have a good support for syncing public shared folders in Files clients.
See https://github.com/nextcloud/files-clients/issues/9
Describe the solution you'd like
We need a server API to get the following information:
- public link name
- shared by user xy (so user name having create the public share link)
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have checked the web UI and there is no existing server API that we can use to get this information.
Additional context
Current implementation for desktop client https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/pull/4175

Start by reviewing the existing server APIs for public shares and the linked Files clients issue, then compare the desktop client implementation referenced in pull request 4175. Done means an API exposes the public link name and the user who created the link for syncing clients.
