Description
hi everyone,
I am writing this feature request because I encountered a technical issue.
If we have this tree on our nextcloud for exemple :
test1/
├── test2
│ ├── test3
│ │ └── test.docx
│ └── test.pptx
└── test.txt
If we share the test1 folder with public link and protected by a password, and we also want to share a direct public link for test.docx we are forced to re-enter the password placed for the test1 share. There is no password recursion in the tree.
If it's possible, when nextcloud detect a link protected by a password on parent folder, it could offer us to reuse the same password.
Thank you in advance,

Research direction
Reproduce the public-link scenario described: a password-protected test1 folder containing test.docx, plus a separate public link for that file. Trace how parent-folder and file-share passwords are handled, then verify that the direct file link can reuse the parent password without weakening protection.
