Feature description
The "Shared With" entry in a folder's details pane in the GUI lists all device names with which it is shared. But there is no quick indication about whether the share is encrypted or not. Same goes for the "Folders" entry in a remote device's details pane.
A small lock icon could be shown in front of the device name / folder label, to indicate an encryption password is set for this share. Similar to the superscript numbers indicating that the other end has paused or not yet accepted the share. In contrast to these condition, sharing encrypted is a permanent configuration choice however, so should not be mixed with them as a new number.
Problem or use case
Easily see at a glance whether a device receives a folder share in encrypted form. Helps in troubleshooting, e.g. if a password was entered accidently.
Alternatives or workarounds
Open the editing modal for the device / folder in question and check the encryption status on the "Sharing" tab. That's quite tedious though for several folders.
