#REDIRECT [[Feature2:File sharing]]
 
 
67P comes with a complete, built-in file-sharing solution, optimized for the
 
quick sharing of screenshots, screencaps, documents and other files, both on
 
public channels as well as in private company channels.
 
 
 
67P also offers a history view of recently shared files per channel, so it is
 
easy to find something without having to search the chat logs.
 
 
 
When sharing a file in a channel, the Web client uses a nice [[Feature: Chat#Satellites|satellite]] to render the action and a preview of the file.
 
 
 
== Technical implementation ==
 
 
 
File sharing is based on the RemoteStorage protocol. Files are published
 
directly from the Web client to the remote storage.
 
 
 
In public channels, using one's personal remoteStorage, the files are published
 
there, while in private channels (pro/paid), files are published to the
 
organizations storage.
 
 
 
Image thumbnails are created directly in the browser by the
 
[https://github.com/remotestorage/modules/blob/master/src/shares.js remoteStorage shares] module.
 
Long-term the module will be extended for creating e.g. file list for zip files
 
and other preview/summary data.
 
 
 
=== Notes ===
 
 
 
* Share file/image icon button next to text input field?
 
* Easily share a quick picture from the webcam (can even be animated, e.g. with https://yahoo.github.io/gifshot/)
