Description
The class OC\Files\Storage\Shared was moved to \OCA\Files_Sharing\SharedStorage almost nine years ago (in #1835).
Can anyone think of any compelling reason to retain these references via the old name and/or keep these "alias" definitions around?

Start by reviewing the referenced locations in apps/files_sharing/lib/SharedStorage.php, lib/private/Files/Storage/Wrapper/Wrapper.php, and lib/private/Files/Storage/Common.php. Determine whether the old class references and alias definitions still serve compatibility needs, and document or remove them only once that question is settled.
