To answer my own questions:

not really:
"The path name, revision number, encrypted content location,
signature, and wrapped keys are the primary metadata about a file
stored by the directory server."

The directory server and at least all people i share the file with
would be aware.

no, they only have the metadata above or encrypted data.
So, if I understand correctly if you can access the right directory
server you can find out what filenames I use and what people I share
them with.
