Description

It would be nice to have an option to don't show whom a share is also shared with for users on the same instance. #

Example:
Let's have three users a, b and c. A is sharing a folder with b and c. Currently c can see that the folder is shared with b, too as well as b can see c.

It would be a nice feature to disable this and hide b from c.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue, so first locate the code that renders the “Others with access” information and handles same-instance shares. Done should mean that a user cannot see other recipients when the option is disabled, while the existing sharing behavior remains available when it is enabled.
