Hi Jamal,

The link posted above explains the reason of shared folders not having a different icon. Here is the similar post which discuss the same:

Unfortunately, no confirmed solution available on this post. However, I found this which might be useful for you:

This might be unsafe for your system so user discretion is advised.
