Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 23.0.2
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Ubuntu 20.04

The issue you are facing:
When user A shares a folder with user B, all files created by user B appear to be owned by user A. I can’t find any indication that these files were created by user B.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): I’m relatively new to Nextcloud, so Yes, it’s the first time I see it, but no, I’ve never seen it work any other way before.
Steps to replicate it:
- Logon as user A. Create a folder. Share it with user B.
- Logon as user B. Create a file inside the folder.
- As user B, look at the folder contents. Ask to see the “details” of the file.
Result: The file seems to belong to user A. Under “sharing”, it says “Shared with you by user A”. There is no indication that the file was created by user B.
In addition (not certain whether it’s related), if any user modifies the file, the only user who gets a notification is user A (the owner). Is it possible to have a group of people (e.g. a circle) being notified whenever a file is modified? We couldn’t find a way to do so.

I don’t think there’s anything relevant there.
