File Sharing (Upload, Paste, Drop) about rocket.chat

[Sing-Li]

Interesting how a slight change on the title can turn a UI detail into a killer feature.

So are we thinking:

[scalable multicast]
single upload -> S3 or Object Storage -> CND -> tons of downloaders

OR

[simple multicast]
single upload -> server-side temporary holding -> tons of downloaders

OR

[p2p]
intent to share -> file sharing 'signaling' -> tons of sharing sessions going browser-to-browser
(almost too perfect for the data-channels portion of web-rtc; or BitTorrent integration)

Very cool. Brings out the kim dot com in all of us :)

I think we are thinking in 'scalable multicast'..

you can paste an image or a file of any type and you or other can pin the object in the room, or simply download it.

actually, @rockhouse should be working on a part of these..
