Description

Server 10.7

admin shares folder Documents with user1
user2 shares folder Documents with user1

We expect to see two received shares. But:

  • user1 sees only one Documents in shared with you.
  • user1 sees contradicting entries, when he inspects the details

In the sharing column of this screenshot, admin is listed for the Documents folder
The details sidebar of the same Documents folder says "Shared with you by user2"

Activity also mixes up things:

Two different share owners should never be listed in the activities of one folder.

Research direction

Reproduce on Server 10.7 using the admin/user1/user2 sharing steps, then compare the shared-with-you entry, details sidebar, and activity records for the Documents folder. Done means user1 sees two distinct received shares and each view consistently identifies its owner without mixing activity entries.
