 ### Share Access
 To access a share, the receiving server MAY use multiple ways, depending on the received payload and on the `protocol.name` property:
 
-* If `protocol.name` = `multi`, the receiver SHOULD make a HTTP PROPFIND request to `protocol.webdav.uri` to access the remote share. If `protocol.webdav.sharedSecret` is not empty, the receiver SHOULD pass it as a `Authorization: bearer` header.
+* If `protocol.name` = `multi`, the receiver MUST make a HTTP PROPFIND request to `protocol.webdav.uri` to access the remote share. If `protocol.webdav.sharedSecret` is not empty, the receiver MUST pass it as a `Authorization: bearer` header.
 
-* If `protocol.name` = `webdav`, the receiver SHOULD inspect the `protocol.options` property. If it contains a `sharedSecret`, as in the [legacy example](https://cs3org.github.io/OCM-API/docs.html?branch=develop&repo=OCM-API&user=cs3org#/paths/~1shares/post), then the receiver SHOULD make a HTTP PROPFIND request to `https://<sharedSecret>:@<host><path>`, where `<host>` is the remote server, and `<path>` is obtained by querying the [Discovery](#discovery) endpoint at the remote server and getting `resourceTypes[0].protocols.webdav`.
+* If `protocol.name` = `webdav`, the receiver SHOULD inspect the `protocol.options` property. If it contains a `sharedSecret`, as in the [legacy example](https://cs3org.github.io/OCM-API/docs.html?branch=develop&repo=OCM-API&user=cs3org#/paths/~1shares/post), then the receiver SHOULD make a HTTP PROPFIND request to `https://<sharedSecret>:@<host><path>`, where `<host>` is the remote server, and `<path>` is obtained by querying the [Discovery](#discovery) endpoint at the remote server and getting `resourceTypes[0].protocols.webdav`. Note that this access method is _deprecated_ and may be removed in a future release of the Protocol.
 
 In both cases, when the share is a folder and the receiver accesses a resource within the share, it SHOULD append its relative path to that URL.
