It is activated, but unfortunately it still doesn’t work.

I am not able to reproduce your issue in a fresh installation.
You need to provide a configreport and an ownCloud log at debug loglevel for further investigation.

Here are some views for better understanding the problem:

Perhaps you have some kind of adblock enabled in your browser that blocks html elements that have the word share* in their name.

Hey, unfortunately not. No ad blocker is active. There is no further element at this point in the source text either.

Like I said earlier:

Additionally you could have a look in the developer console of your browser if there are any obvious errors in the network tab.

Now I can see it: the app “Share Files” seems to be missing or is disabled.

That was the problem. Thanks for the hint!
