Research direction

Reproduce the SMB external-storage share flow described in the steps, using an administrator and a second internal user with LDAP/Active Directory or SAML enabled. Compare why the creator can open the internal share link while the recipient receives fileNotFound; done means the recipient can open the shared folder, with a regression test covering the behavior.
