Description

Wish:
Please make the folder "Shared" immutable. In the Web-UI and (if possible) through the NC client apps.

Reasoning:
Every few months one of our users deletes or moves or renames the "Shared" folder which then completely confuses the file/folder sharing.

Why is this even possible? (see below)

Thank you
Andy

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue, so begin by locating the Web-UI and client handling for the Shared folder and its sharing operations. Done means preventing deletion, moving, or renaming of Shared in the Web-UI and, if feasible, the NC client apps, with behavior covered by tests.
