Bug description

Hi Folks,

Previous versions of Nextcloud would update the oc_activity table when a file like a PDF was viewed via a shared link.

It would get added to oc_activity under the subject of public_shared_file_downloaded.
It appeared to be called through singleFileDownloaded in apps/files_sharing/lib/Controller/ShareController.php.

Noticed that now, after upgrading to Nextcloud Hub 9(30.0.5), no longer is an alert added to oc_activity when you view a PDF via a shared link.

It does log to oc_activity when you download the file from a shared link. That still appears to call singleFileDownloaded.

Cheers,
DrJES

Steps to reproduce

1.Share a link of a PDF
2.Open the PDF to view via the created link
3.Search for an entry in oc_activity confirming that file was accessed. There will be no record:
example SQL: select subject,timestamp,file from oc_activity where subject='public_shared_file_downloaded' ;

Expected behavior

Viewing of files shared via a link should have their access logged. Worked at least in version 24.
