Ehi guys,
first, Nextcloud is getting a valuable project! Thanks everyone for your work.
With some installations I have this kind of issue as nextcloud is used by the company to share stuff with clients, what happens is that If a user unshares a file/folder from themselves there is no way to bring the share back.
Although such files/folders need to be always visible, the company doesn’t accept that behaviour.
Owncloud guys suggested this solution:
We should have a sidebar entry “rejected shares” (or similar) which lists all shares a user unshared from themself until the owner unshares the file. This enabled the user to bring back a share if they unshared the file by accident. Currently there is no way to bring back a share after the user unshared it from themself.
What do you think?

For group shares there is actually a plan to make this happen. With rejected shares.
However with user2user shares we need to find a way to properly display this in the UI from the sharer perspective. But in the end the whole sharing dialog probably need a redisign anyways.
For the technical side this is not that big of a change but we need to make sure the UX is somewhat intuitive.
Fits in somewhat with https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/434
@jan Prepare for me to bug you about this next week

Thanks for replying, in the user2user perspective having the chance of unsharing something is correct. In my use case, there is a subject who wants share something (like an FTP public repo) and don’t like those users have the opportunity of changing/reject/delete shares. Is it enough clear?
