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
When creating a new share with a local user, the expected email notification about the new share is not sent. This issue affects communication and usability, as users rely on these notifications to be informed about new shares.
Steps to reproduce
- Have two users: Alice and Bob.
- Alice creates a folder.
- Alice shares the folder with Bob.
Expected behavior
Bob receives an email notification about the new share.
In Nextcloud 29 the above steps to reproduce would trigger the notification shown in the screenshot. That's not working in Nextcloud 30.0.4.
