Description
- Support having a direct link to a file within a folder
like https://cloud.domain.com/s/wwPHmbeDPW7MtWG/dan-meyers-ucmEHogvn1g-unsplash.jpg (or maybe as a GET param) - Support direct link to download too (partially down already)
like https://cloud.domain.com/s/wwPHmbeDPW7MtWG/download/dan-meyers-ucmEHogvn1g-unsplash.jpg
Steps to reproduce
- Share a folder with files with public link
Expected behaviour
I expect that every file in shared folder with share link has own direct link. Link would be visible in share properties. Link could be like https://www.cloud.example/index.php/s/vIa0YS4zUsZLe3J/fileName. Easier to share a file over chat, email etc.
Actual behaviour
File have to have own share link.

Research direction
Start by reading apps/files_sharing/appinfo/routes.php, especially the existing download route linked in the issue, and trace how public folder shares resolve file paths. Done means files inside a public folder share have usable direct view and download links matching the requested URL patterns, with those links available from the share properties.
