Description
It is not possible to publicly share a folder via URL that itself contains shared content (from other users). The following message appears: 'Error creating share: Path contains files shared with you'.
Sharing this folder with other (internal) users is also not possible. But here it is logical, because otherwise you could create infinite loops.
Is it possible to add this function? Precisely to remove the lock?
Is there anything against it?

Define and test the intended behavior for nested shared content while preserving the stated prohibition on internal-user sharing and avoiding loops.
