Research direction

Start from the top bar / toolbar setup in the ownCloud Android app (the shared toolbar or file-list activity that inflates the share menu item, screenshot linked in the issue) and find where the share action is made visible. Determine how the app distinguishes KWS accounts from regular ones (account type checks already used elsewhere in the codebase) and gate the share icon on that condition. Done means the icon is absent on KWS accounts and still present on regular servers; check existing unit/UI tests covering toolbar menu visibility and add one if present.

it should be hidden for kws servers, since sharing is not an available feature (as today)
