It would probably not be much work to implement this, but to be honest, I don't see what this solves for you. The share button is just there for convenience. If they have access to the file they can download it and share it via any other way. That's beyond your control, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

It's not a technical restraint so much as a matter of liability. As long as we (the providers of the service) do our due diligence to make sure the data is safe while in our control, we are not legally liable if one of our vendors goes and does something stupid after they've downloaded the file (such as email the file around without encryption).
On the other hand, if one of our staff sent a share link to a 3rd party, and that 3rd party's email account were compromised, it would be trivial for the unauthorized person to retrieve the file. In all likelihood, should people get worked up to starting suing, we'd be held liable because we didn't take adequate measures to ensure the end-recipient is actually authorized to retrieve the file.
I hope that helps sort out why this would be helpful to us (and presumably, any company working with sensitive data). Thanks!

Sorry for the extremely late reply. I'm going to close this feature request. If you don't want to allow people to share files, just remove the link from views/folders/show.html.erb and delete the share_links_controller.
