Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No, it's only a QOL type of thing.
Describe the solution you'd like
I've setup 2 smb shares for my users and I see that there's currently an entry "External storages" in the sidebar, after clicking on which they can see both shares listed.
I think it'd be much better if there would be a switch in each share's settings on admin page that could append that share to the sidebar as its own entry.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I can't think of any other alternative except for maybe global switch for all shares instead of a per-share behavior, but I think per-share is highly better.

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests. Start by tracing how external storage shares are configured in the admin page and how the External storages entry is rendered in the sidebar; done means each share can be independently enabled as its own sidebar entry and remains accessible to users.
