Bug description

It is possible to create external storages and add users to them, and have the storage be invisible to the user, unless the user allready has the correct directory structure

Steps to reproduce

As admin, create several external storages with the following names:
```
toplevel/sublevel1
toplevel/sublevel2
```
Share both extenal storages with User A
As user A, log in to Nextcloud and notice that you have no shares in your root folder.
As User A notice that if you create a directory called toplevel your shares magically appears

Expected behavior

toplevel directory should be created if it does not allready exists

Also reproducible with a single external storage with a / in the name.

This also applies to groupfolders. if you create a nested groupfolder and the top oesnt exist you will get the same problem.
