Description

To prevent showing an email-adress (or Federated Cloud ID) twice in the sharing with user dropdown, I'd propose to merge them into one single "admin@cloud.example.com"-entry ... Clicking on it will first check whether there is an Federation server (remote, prioritized), and if not - It will use email as fallback method (because it makes no sense to share with somebody who as Nextcloud himself via email).

Would fix messages like:

Currently:

  • admin@cloud.example.com (remote)
  • admin@cloud.example.com (email)

What do you think? @schiessle @jancborchardt

The issue provides no file or test names. Begin by tracing the sharing-with-user dropdown and the remote/email selection flow described in the body, then verify that one displayed address chooses federation first and email only as a fallback without duplicate entries.
