Steps to reproduce

  1. create a folder "test"

  3. share folder "test" with group "test"

Expected behaviour

Server configuration

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look for the group deletion handler in the server code and trace how shares are associated with groups. Ensure that when a group is deleted, all shares referencing that group are also removed or updated.
