Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

sendMail is valid parameter that the share api can accept however the current ui for sharing does not allow the user to specify this.

See : https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/48381

Describe the solution you'd like

For mail shares:

  • A new option should show up, potentially a checkbox or toggle option that enables or disables mail sending

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Depending on whether the system is configured to mail users for all kinds of shares, this could be a general setting?

cc: @nextcloud/designers ideas and or actual mockup appreciated.
