Description

Now that we can have multiple link shares it would be good to use that in the activities to have some more traceability.

Assume:

  1. userA creates a public link for externalB and a public link for externalC and names them the same
  2. externalB opens the link and uploads a new file 'X'
  3. externalC opens the link and also uplaods a new file 'Y'

Then in your activity stream you would see:

  • externalB (via link share) added file X
  • externalC (via link share) added file Y
