Description

just discussing a use case with a partner:
insurance company company creates public share for customers to upload files to. When they do, they want to be notified by mail!

They could parse the RSS feed, I suppose. But it'd be nice to be able to be notified of file uploads to publicly shared folders specifically...

I think that for many cases, publicly shared folders are special enough to warrant separate configuration - I don't care too much about uploads in 'normal' shared folders in particular but the public ones warrant a special note.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing RSS feed and notification paths for uploads, then determine how publicly shared folders are identified and where separate configuration would belong. Define the notification behavior and configuration scope with maintainers; the work is done when uploads to public folders reliably produce the agreed email notification without changing normal shared-folder behavior.
