Description

Now that there is a chat in public shares, there should be an easy way to grab the attention of the share owner.

Current situation:

  • User A creates a public share and send the link to some people.
  • These people (Guests) start writing in the chat.
  • User A doesn't notice that there was some activity in the chat until opening the chat tab of that file.

Enhancement:

  • Guests can @-mention the share owner (User A).
  • When User A is mention, it will automatically join that conversation.
