⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
Bug description

Renaming a folder within a (sub-) directory of a teamfolder, which is additional shared to another user group, is not possible.
When using Windows sync client it's not longer possible to create new folders with specified name, because windows always creates "new folder" first before asking for the name, and the client synchronizes this folder before its locally renamed.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a teamfolder "team_folder" with an user group "group a" with all rights
  2. Create a subfolder within these teamfolder "sub"
  3. Create a share on "sub" to "group b" with all rights
  4. Try to create a new folder "test" using a member from "group a" within "sub". Folder is created without error.
  5. Try to rename "test" into "test1"
    => You'll get an error message, that the folder cannot be renamed.
    => In Systemlog you'll find an entry "Information | no app in context | Forbidden You cannot move a non-shareable node into a share"
  6. When the share on "sub" is removed, than renaming "test" to "test1" is working again
Expected behavior

Renaming of a subfolder of "sub" should be possible, bus is denied.

Additional info

We use this structure "team_folder" (group_folder before) together with shared subfolders (e.g. for offices) since at least 5 years - the first problem here occurs about 4 weeks ago, so it should be related to some update (maybe Nextcloud 32).

We are using Ubuntu SNAP installation (current master).
