Bug description

When I try to share file via nextcloud integration into finder it says "Unable to retrieve file metadata…"

After looking for logs I saw. that mac os client trying to find files by using path with my account name, instead of using path with uuid. Because of this server returns 404 for it

When I use my linux machine, client uses webdav path with my uuid and all things work as expected

Steps to reproduce

  1. Right click on the file

  3. The share dialog does not display
