Allow to import files from other Cozy instances #302

Open Thatoo opened 9 years ago

Peer to peer, cozy to cozy? Does it sound realistic? Would it be possible, in cozy-files to import a file from an other cozy by entering the url that someone has shared? Just an idea... :-)

I go a bit further if you will : would it be possible to add in cozy-contact the url of his/her cozy to a contact? Then we could have a peer to peer for photo, music and so on... receive a notification when someone want to share something, sounds crazy hhmmm :-) I won't speak about framapad and the future online libreoffice but you see what I'm talking about. Just an idea... now that what has been started is somehow ready, cozy needs to jump further, doesn't it?

Hello @Thatoo ! What you describe here is pretty much a part of what I'm working on, so your request is more than relevant :) It is not an easy task though, because opening a Cozy to the outside world in a server-to-server private sharing raises a lot of issues, e.g authentication, synchronization, notification, etc.

Interoperability is also very important to us. In fact, we even created a w3c community group about it :) If you are interested, you can read this document we wrote in the group, about an interoperable sharing to see what we are trying to do globally.

For us the next step will be the integration of Micropub in Cozy and adapt it to share documents between personal clouds.

@Gara64 : I'm sure it's even a tricky and difficult task. Micropub sounds a good beginning then.
