Description
Hello,
From what I understand, this app is only being used for file sharing (OCA.Sharing is undefined in other apps).
It would be great if it could be used for other apps.
For instance, I had to use it in the Nextcloud News app, while adding a feature to share articles on social media. However, I had to check if the app was enabled via the OC global, more specifically under OC.appswebroots. I also had to import the icons and generate the links manually.

I think it would be great if these apps were fully usable by other apps, specifically because code and assets could be reused to avoid redundancy.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how OCA.Sharing is exposed and how the News app uses OC.appswebroots in ShareController.js, including its manual icon and link handling. Define what reusable app interface and assets are needed so other apps can use social sharing without those checks and manual imports; done means the intended cross-app usage is available and documented by the implementation.
