It is still possible to share the files via the "3 dot menu" > "open details" > "sharing" tab but the old way with the sharing symbol being directly accessible was a lot quicker and more intuitive for the many users of our nextcloud instance.
The person icon (with the +
sign) immediately to the right of the circle in your linked forum post is the sharing icon. Or am I misunderstanding your report?
EDIT: To clarify, the icon itself changed in 28, but it's still in the same spot.
Thanks for getting back so quickly. I should have been more precise sorry. The symbol (old or changed) is no longer present on a folder or a file that has been shared with you.
As you can see from my picture those folders and files were shared with me by an organizational user (data owner) called OA:
There I'm unable to quickly reshare those files via link. Resharing is allowed by OA for those folders.
The usecase we have internally is that most folders with company data are owned and shared by OA to all my users and then individual users create share links for certain files, videos etc. to reference them in other media/ chats/ wiki's
Previously there was the share icon present even if that file or folder was shared with you. Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot of how it looked before.
The UI is the same on v28 on folders share with me.
Maybe I misunderstand the problem, but when I click on the user symbol I directly get to the share sidebar (NC29). In your case @nerrehmit this should be the encircled "OA"...
My own folders and my folders that I have shared to others look like this Maybe you mean those symbols? They are simply replaced by the user icon who shared the folder with you, but the functionality stays the same.
As you wrote your use case: Looks like a good use case for the groupfolders app.

Bug description
We noticed that the share icon is not present any more in the file overview some time after the upgrade to Nextcloud 29.
I found the same issue on the Community Forum where another user confirmed it but it did not gain traction and I did not manage to find a bug report about this. Here is the issue in the Community Forum: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/share-icon-missing-after-upgrade/186086
