File requests / Files Drop for the community about server

[LukasReschke]

The feature will very likely be rewritten as open-source component as part of our promise to be a drop-in replacement. :)

Yes. https://www.bitblokes.de/2015/05/file-drop-anonymes-hochladen-bei-owncloud-8-0-3/

I do not understand the concept of files drop.
Do you want to have a public link where all users can put files in it, but do not see the previous content?

[MariusBluem]

Now I understand which function you mean 😅

To clarify what it is meant for:

It is the perfect replacement for attaching large files to email, maintaining an FTP server, and commercial file-sharing services.

Keep in mind, that this can not simply be added into the community edition, because it is commercial licensed. We are not allowed to simply fork and use enterprise code 😜

Didn't think of that. Maybe in the future, when it will be recoded?

If somebody does the work ... Of course 😅
