Trying to create a (public) link share of the Shares folder throws an error

[pascalwengerter]

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to all files
2. Open right sidebar for Shares folder
3. Try to create a public link for the folder

Expected behaviour

One perhaps shouldn't even see the buttons to create a public link for one's Shares folder

Actual behaviour

See an error

Is this with OCIS or oC10 server back-end, or both?

Good point, oCIS from current master. We'll have to check this on the frontend independently of the backend though I suppose since you perhaps shouldn't be able to share your Shares folder from my understanding ;)

The Shares folder is a system-wide thing. So it is a bit odd for a user to share the whole of it. The receiver would end up with a Shares/Shares folder! A product manager should decide what is the requirement, and we can easily first have an API test that checks for the desired behaviour.

Agreed that it shouldn't be possible to do it, @tbsbdr could you take a look and add a corresponding story to our backlog?

Also when trying to create a user share, it doesn't shows any error message on ocis.

While on oc10 it shows error message

Closed via #6593, in oCIS shares are now displayed in a different view and in OC10 the permissions are handled correctly, see screenshot below
