• What is the problem that this feature would fix? 

The is no easy native way to inform a Public Share owner via mail that something happened, e.g. a failed upload, since there is no variable available

• Why is it a problem?

Currently this is not possible and I have to use a hacky workaround(see below).

• Is there a workaround you currently have for this problem? 

I make the email address part of the local file path where users are able to create public upload shares, e.g. D:\Data\Uploads\abc.xyz@domain.com\MyCustomer
If a failed upload happens via a Public File Transfer Event, I parse the email address with PowerShell from the {{LFP}} variable and the send a notification mail via a 3rd party PowerShell module.

• Do you have a suggestion on how you would like to see the problem fixed?

Add 2 variables "Public Share Owner" and "Public Share Owner Email" to the "Public File Transfer Event".
With that I could easily use the native Email notification Action.

• How big is the problem? Who is affected by this problem (End Users, Admins, etc.)? 

End users
