The BuddyDrive Editor uses the BuddyPress Attachments API introduced in BuddyPress 2.3. It's a feature to demonstrate how to manage user generated media from the front-end.
By default, nothing will happen, that's because you're free to choose where to display this editor :)
Here's an example of code that would add a button into the user's activity stream to let him share a public file.
function test_bp_personal_activity() {
// Always check the editor is available to prevent fatals!
if ( bp_is_my_profile() && function_exists( 'buddydrive_editor' ) ) {
// 'whats-new' is the id attribute of the textarea to publish activities
buddydrive_editor( 'whats-new' );
}
}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_activity_post_form', 'test_bp_personal_activity' );NB: You could for instance add this code into a bp-custom.php file.
The above code is adding a button above the what's new text area and once clicked, you get the BuddyDrive Editor :
There's more! Let's imagine you have BuddyPress 2.3, BuddyDrive 1.3 activated and another plugin dealing with user's front end submission by using a wp_editor (e.g.: WP Idea Stream). This another plugin could take benefit of the buddydrive_editor() function simply by using this code :
if ( function_exists( 'buddydrive_editor' ) ) {
// when no id attribute is provided, BuddyDrive will look for tinyMCE/Quick tags editor.
buddydrive_editor();
}Here's a demo of this in WP Idea Stream (note that WP Idea Stream is not ready yet, you'll need to wait for version 2.2!)

This new feature will also generate public thumbnails so that the BuddyDrive embed function will display a thumbnail in case the public file is an image :
If the user changes the privacy of the file to something else than public, then the thumbnail will be deleted and a mime type icon will be used.
