Show Full Path for Shared Item (External Share Screen)

[jonathanpantall]

Hello,
We have a group of users that have a set / generic folder structure for projects they work on. When they share a sub-folder out to a client, they would like the ability to display the full folder path to the external user so they have context of what they're viewing. This would apply to folders or individual files being shared externally.

I'm not sure if this has been requested as an enhancement yet or not. I did some searching and didn't see it. This change would be specifically applied to external shares created.

Here is a screenshot that demonstrates this idea:

This may be useful for others who share files externally, who might appreciate giving extra context to what they're sharing.

Thanks ahead of time and we love your product!

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #9879 (Sharing with a Circle shows an error), #1791 (show shared files with full path - enhancement), #6234 (Shared by link: Items missing), #6560 (Full path appears in web UI), and #5485 (Sharing: Members are not shown).

This is nearly the opposite of #9789. I would not add it to the server directly, but do this in an app.

cc @nextcloud/sharing Opinion?

[rullzer]

Yes in some app please. i don't like exposing any more info than needed.

This should then be done by implementing an app. Thus I will close this ticket here in the server repo. If someone wants to tackle this problem, then we are happy to assist and answer questions.

We just don't want to track this inside the server repository, as it is not planned to be included right into the server itself.

I want to contribute, My idea is to develop an application that can handle the situation and administrator should be able to configure overall behavior.
