Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The problem at the moment is when a file/folder is shared with a group, as a user I can only see it's shared with such group. But I don't see who's in that group. And if I'm not an admin who manages the group, there's a good chance I don't know for sure who's inside.
Describe the solution you'd like
At the moment, there's already a space where we can check who has access to a shared file/folder :

What could be great is if there was an accordion on the group element so we can develop it and check users inside that group.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Another alternative would actually be to show all users directly, not the group, but for users belonging from a group to have their label lightly different and annotated to show the group name they come from.
Additional context
- I am not talking about "group folder" here. Just the regular file/folder everybody use :)
- I have other suggestions I'm thinking about to go a step further in term of ux but let's speak already of this if possible :)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the regular file/folder sharing access UI and the path that provides group membership data; done means the shared-group entry can reveal its members without applying this behavior to group folders.
