Bug description

TIL that running occ files:scan --all command scans over and over again the same SMB share attached to our NC installation and being available for a number of users for every single user account.

I got the same pair of errors for every user connected to that one network share. Is seems like a huge overhead for me to scan the same network drive over and over again.

Steps to reproduce

Add an SMB/CIFS storage in "External storage" setting.
Make it "Available for" a number of users.
Run occ files:scan --all command

Expected behavior

One network connected share over anyhow protocol must be scanned one time only.

Some illustrations. Scan time with the SMB share unavailable: Scan time with the SMB share connected: It took 7+ hrs more. And the contents of the SMB share is like this: So it is easily calculable five times overhead.

Depends on how the share is made available to the users. See https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage/auth_mechanisms.html#considerations-for-shared-storage

Thank you very much for the reply, I read the doc you provided. But it seems for me that my case does not include "user specific authorization":

Or it should be "all people" checked?
