Sharing tab is missing. Unable to share any file or folder

Nextcloud version (eg, 18.0.2): 18.0.7
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Raspbian Buster
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): 2.4.38
PHP version (eg, 7.1): 7.3

The issue you are facing:
In the Files page, when I click on any file or folder, a sidebar opens on the right. There are multiple tabs in that sidebar like Activity, Comments, etc. There used to be a “Sharing” tab and it has disappeared. There’s just an empty space. I’ve shared folders before using the same tab, but for some reason, it’s not showing up now. I’ve tested this in multiple browsers and it’s the same issue. I do want to mention that I’m using NextCloudPi.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?: Yes

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Log in to NextCloud
  2. Go to Files
  3. Click on any file or folder and see that the right sidebar opens
  4. Sharing tab is missing

This is the screenshot of just the right sidebar when I clicked on the Test.md file in the Files app. In the attached image, you can see that the third tab is blank. It was supposed to be the Sharing tab.

Hi, I found this post while I was searching for a solution for the same problem. In the end it was my ad blocker (uBlock) that made the tabs disappear.
