Allow unverified users to upload private documents. #159

Open duckduckgrayduck opened 1 year ago

duckduckgrayduck commented 1 year ago

What is the problem we are trying to solve?

Currently on-boarding for DocumentCloud isn’t great. To reduce friction, it would be beneficial for users to be able to upload documents privately from the get-go, but lock down embeds/making documents public (publishing) behind verification.

How wide spread is this issue?

All users

How can we solve this issue?

Reconsider how we want verification to work.

Some thoughts on this by @morisy

- 250 pages/month uploading for unverified. Can’t make public.
- If they upload more than that, error and state that monthly limit is 250
- Maybe down the line offer small number of free credits

We need to create a way to track uploads for free users (or maybe all users).

Unverified users could (under this proposal) use add-ons to create documents, but they'll also be private. This may also hit upload limits, however they're calculated.
