Bug description

When you receive a federated share, you can reshare it with teams - but the members of the team don't see the share.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Share a file or folder with a person or group an another Nextcloud instance.
  2. As the receiver of the share: Reshare the share via an internal share and see how you can select teams via autocomplete.
  3. As another member of said team: See how you cannot see the share.
Expected behavior

It should be possible to share with teams (best solution!)

Or, as long as this is not implemented: Teams should not be selectable in the resharing dialog for federated shares.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the federated-share reshare flow with a team and trace how the share is recorded and exposed to team members; done means members can access it, or teams are excluded from the resharing dialog until support works.
