Description

See https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/19157 and doc ticket for some details: https://github.com/owncloud/documentation/issues/2130

Things to test:

  • on all clients, web, desktop, mobile, if sharing is disabled in an external storage, it is not possible to create/update/remove shares there (ideally the UI should not show any share action, if possible)
  • have existing shares on the external storage, then disable sharing: the shares become unaccessible for recipients (public shares + user shares)
  • reenable sharing after disabling: shares that become unavailable are available again

There is currently no cleanup job for such existing disabled shares.

Research direction

Read the linked core issue 19157 and documentation ticket 2130 first, then test external-storage sharing on web, desktop, and mobile. Verify that disabled storage blocks creating, updating, and removing shares, existing public and user shares become inaccessible, and re-enabling restores them; record the results for each client.
