Incomprehensible term for File Upload permission

Bug description

Hi all,

the ~~German translation~ string for the file upload permission as 'Dateianfrage' file request is incomprehensible to a German speaker.

Please correct this to something like 'Upload Files' or 'Upload' or 'File drop' or something that indicates the permission for the user the link is shared with. Your current term has it the wrong way around.

'File request' is most similar to 'Download' and not to 'Upload'.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a file share using German locale
2. Be confronted with weird options
3. Miss the correct option and waste time because of strange translation

Okay, this is incomprehensible already in the English original - the German translation is just a 1:1 translation.

This needs to be fixed not in the translation, but first in the code.

File request is the name for this feature because you request a file from other users.
@nextcloud/designers do we keep the name (close as wontfix) or should we rephrase for UX?
