Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
Seen from Nextcloud 26, 27 and 28 : If you want to transfer a folder's ownership, when you click on the folder selection button, all folders appear, including Group Folders and folder that are shared with me by others.
Steps to reproduce
- Make sure you have access to at least one GF (no need to have ACL administration rights)
- Go to your personal share settings
- Click on the folder selection button
- See that the modal displays all the folder including the GFs and folders shared with by others
Expected behavior
Only "my" folders should appear.

Research direction

Trace the sharing UI and its folder-selection data source, then verify that only folders owned by the current user are displayed across the reported Nextcloud versions.
