Linking between File Systems

[matheus23]

Summary

Selectively share access to files and directories to collaborate with other users.

Problem / Need / Opportunity

Users should be able to invite other people to collaborate on their files. It is possible to provide mechanisms to selectively share read access to files and directories, as well as to include links to 'foreign' file systems in your own for managing such access. This should be possible asynchronously, given that a user 'knows' the user they want to share with in advance.

Success Scenario

Users can link files that were shared with them across file system boundaries. There exists a mechanism to share access asynchronously.
