Bug Description

If someone shares a file or folder with me, then I am not able to remove it. This is a serious security and privacy issue, because that way he or she is able to copy _anything_ onto my computer without my permission. This may be related to the bug #374967, but it is not the same issue, and I think this is even more important, because I can control what I upload in a shared folder, but I can't control what will be copied to my computer through someone else's shared folder.

This is the flip-side of bug 374967 as it deals with functionality of a share recipient.

This potential security problem should be addressed sooner. It's probably not entirely related to the folder deletion issue (383619) but may share an underlying cause.

Hopefully adding a way to reject a share in the new webUI is pretty easy. Let me know if this is not realistic for w13.
