Bug description

Hello,

Since recently (not exactly sure when but definitely the case with 3.8.0), when I create a share link on a folder via the file manager context menu, I get the share option “edit” (see screenshot 1). This used to correspond to the “edit and upload” option form the Web UI, i.e. when ticked then people with that shared link could upload files into that folder.

This is no longer the case, and is now strictly “edit”, and so people with the shared link cannot upload into it (the + sin is not present). If I look up the sharing properties of this folder in the WebUI the option is indeed only “edit” and not the bundle “edit and upload” (see screenshot 2) as it used to be.

I believe this is not the intended behaviour and is a usability regression. Or at least then upload should also be available as a share option for folder from the context menu.

I've created thread about this on the forum and it was reproduced by another user: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/missing-upload-as-share-option-for-folders-can-only-edit/160371

Steps to reproduce

1. Open dolphin
2. Right click on a folder
3. Go to Nextcloud context menu and go to Share options
4. Create a share link and go to share option
5. Tick the Allow editing box
   ...

Expected behavior

Editing on a folder should allow upload.

Same problem on WINDOWS and macOS clients since the latest 3.7 client versions. I can't specify which version "introduces" this bug, but definitely in 3.7.x!

Same behaviour in client version 3.8.1 and with NC server 26.0.1

Seems to me that the default share options should be the "Bundled permissions" (Read only, Allow upload and editing, File drop) and not the "Custom Permissions" (Upload, Edit , Delete)

I have now checked the behaviour in the android app and there the share option is "Edit and Upload", as it should, and so this issue is only on the desktop client, and indeed a bug.
