Synnefo » Pithos Web Client

Currently, when right clicking on a File one has two options wrt sharing:

1. Publish
2. Sharing

With "Publish" Pithos creates a public link for the file. Then anybody who has this link can access the file without signing-in. Public files do NOT appear under Pithos users' "Shared with me" section.

With "Sharing" one can add a list of users or groups and grant them access to the file. Then this file will appear under the "Shared with me" section of all the users that share it. Furthermore, a link will be created for this file. To access the file using this link, one must sign-in and already have the file as shared.

The functionality will stay the same, but we will change how it is presented to the user for simplicity and uniformity:

When right clicking on a File one has only one option:

1. Share

Clicking "Share" opens an overlay with two sections each section clearly separated and with a checkbox:

1.1 [checkbox] Private sharing (Subtitle: "Only people explicitly granted permission can access. Sign-in required.")
1.2 [checkbox] Public on the Internet (Subtitle: "Anyone who has the public link can access. No sign-in required.")

Checking on the first (1.1) the section expands and we have the menu currently on the old "Sharing" overlay.
Furthermore, we need a "Add everybody" button that will add all Pithos users to the list.
Also we need the notice over the list of users: All users in the list will find the shared file under "Shared with me"

Checking on the second (1.2) the section expands and produces the public link (the menu currently on the old "Publish" overlay).
