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
We have a case of something similar to what was theoretically fixed here https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/39034, however, my case happens on version 27.1.4 and it doesn't happen with every shared folder, additionally, we jumped to this version directly from version 26 several month ago. In addition, we have some files that we also can't decrypt the error is similar, although they were never shared, as in this bug mentioned above. The files affected are pdfs, but also txt and others. So it doesn't seem to be related to Richdocuments used with group folders. We use encryption with the user password without masterkey.
Steps to reproduce
I can't define
Expected behavior
The files should be able to be decrypted and downloaded

Research direction
Start with the logged stack in lib/private/Encryption/Keys/Storage.php, apps/encryption/lib/KeyManager.php, lib/private/Encryption/Update.php, and apps/files_sharing/lib/Controller/ShareAPIController.php. Reproduce the encryption and sharing failure first; the issue provides no reproducible steps or named tests. Done means affected files can be decrypted and downloaded without the reported error.
