Research direction

Reproduce the issue with occ config:app:set core shareapi_allow_links --value='no', then inspect the Files sidebar visibility logic. The issue references build/integration/capabilities_features/capabilities.feature for the setting; use that entry point to understand the disabled state. Done means the Shared by link option is absent when link sharing is disabled.
