share collections of files from different sources

[rhyst]

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to share individual files and folders to users that they can organise however they wish.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can use sources/scopes to have a shared folder that users can access but then they must share the same folder structure.

This is a great feature request, planned as shared "collections". Right now a share is tied to a specific source, that is planned to change.

This is a bit tricky with how shares work now, but definitely planned. May not come in the first round of 0.8.0 feature enhancements, but will definitely arrive in 0.8.x!

@rhyst the approach i've always used for this is symlinks to reference the same folder.
for instance, my structure is like this :

.
├── a
│   └── shares-b -> ../shares/shares-ab/
├── b
│   └── shares-a -> ../shares/shares-ab/
└── shares
└── shares-ab

How about 2-sources having different rights? one source is read-only (no uploads or sharing), and the other source has rights to upload or share?
