Description
We are adding more and more share types to the server component for apps that need to share files depending on the apps data and ownership model.
Right now we have the following ones, that I think could also be moved to a common apps share:
- SHARE_TYPE_GUEST
- SHARE_TYPE_CIRCLE
- SHARE_TYPE_ROOM
As it would also make sense for other apps like calendar, tasks or deck to access files and share them with users inside there, it would make sense to think about a common share type for apps.
Permission handling would need to be done by the app somehow. Should files that a user got access to by sharing though apps be visible in the file tree? If not, how can users access/download/edit it?
