Bug description
When sharing a folder with custom permissions (e.g., "Read & Share"), the share functions correctly, but the list of shares incorrectly displays the permissions as "View Only," causing confusion for users.
Steps to reproduce
- Share a folder with another user using custom permissions ("Read & Share").
- The list of shares for the share owner shows "View only"
The share itself seems to work, only the permissions are shown wrong.
