How can I hide users with who I've shared files with?

How can I hide whom I am sharing a file with? I do not want all of the people I am sharing with to be able to see whom ever else I am sharing with.

    A share link, by its nature, is a shared file. People will know it's shared, but not with whom and they can't see that it's shared with anyone else. It's just a link to the file; nothing more.

    Just know that ANYONE that has the link can access the file. Anyone that you give the link to can forward it to anyone else.

So just sharing the link will not appear as being "Shared"?
