Confidentiality and wording issues in sharing notification e-mails (when sharing with a circle)

[Jerome-Herbinet]

Hello,

When we receive a share from a user, because we belong to a circle, I see two problems.

The first problem is in my opinion the most annoying: It says, for example, "John Doe shared multiple files with Marketing Team". I think that as the recipient of the share, I don't need to know the entity with which John Doe has shared the file. "Marketing team" is in my example something very classic, but the name of the circle may be quite different and have meaning only to John Doe ... and in that case, I may wonder why I am receiving this share. Just imagine also that John Doe names his circle with an "embarrassing" wording hahaha ... you know what I mean?! :-) I think this is very important, especially if the circle is private. So to sum up, putting the name of the circle in the notification email poses a confidentiality/privacy problem. The sentence should simply be "John Doe shared multiple files with you".

The second problem is that in all cases, it says "multiple files" in the sentence, but this is not possible because a user can only share one file at a time, or one folder at time. So the sentence should be, according to 2 possible cases :

• "John Doe shared a file with you"
• "John Doe shared a file with you"

Thanks for reading me. Jérôme
