I can reproduce with Notes 4.9.2 on Nextcloud 27.1.5.

Seems to work in v28, but not in v27. I think there was some stuff done for backwards compatibility (<28) in #1146, but I'd have to look closer to see if that could somehow be related.

I've noticed this problem as well and what I've found is this:

• Sharing a single note: The user can see the note, but as a normal file in their Nextcloud root folder.
• Sharing a folder within notes: The user can see the folder, but as a folder within their Nextcloud root folder.

To see the shared notes, they have to move them into the /Notes folder.

Notice: This occurs even when you share from within the Notes app.

P.S.: Running 27.1.8 via Snap, so that might be why.
