Description
Hi !
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When entering a Federated Cloud ID in the sharing field, there is one that makes it difficult to understand the federated share option :
There is no way to understand what is in front of your eyes (no icon, no textual information) :
Describe the solution you'd like
See my suggestion ("remote" in brackets + icon) :
Once federated sharing is done, here is what I suggest in place of the letter in the bubble to the left of the Federated Cloud ID (icon) :
This last suggestion is a little less important, but "while we're at it" ... I suggest it.
Thanks for reading me.

Research direction
Start from the sharing field where a Federated Cloud ID is entered and the federated share display shown in the screenshots. Review the existing UI for these two states, then implement the suggested remote label/icon treatment and the replacement icon after sharing, verifying both appearances in the relevant sharing flow.
