Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On my NC instance, there are a lot of teams that I can see under /apps/contacts/, but I'm not a member of those teams. Sometimes I need to share a file with all members of that team. But that isn't possible since those teams don't show up.

Describe the solution you'd like
Also return the visible teams when searching for the sharees in /app/files

Describe alternatives you've considered
A workaround is to find all members by hand. For a small team, this is doable, but not for large teams.

Additional context
This should be configurable:

Research direction

Review the sharee search flow used by /app/files alongside the visible-team behavior described for /apps/contacts. Determine where the requested configurability and membership visibility are handled; done means eligible visible teams can appear as sharees without membership, with the behavior covered by tests.
