Automatically accept federated incoming shared files/folders invites/notifications

[avatar-lavventura]

owncloud :

Sharing files across ownCloud servers is as easy as sending an email
from a Gmail address to a Yahoo account! Instead of an email address,
you use a Federated Cloud ID.

In order to share a file/folder, enter the Federated Cloud ID in the
'share' dialog. A notification will pop up on the ownCloud server of
the recipient.

For example userA shares a folder to userB, userB sees a notification message. When userB accepts the shared folder, he/she could see shared folder under his files.

Example of notification:
You received as a remote share from John John
(Decline) (Accept).

[Q1] Accepting shared folders force user to use graphical user interface to accept the shared file/folder. Is there any way to accept it without using gui and using script or curl? I just would like to make this operation automised independent from user's act on the gui. If this is possible, also how could I unshare a folder with a script, again instead of using gui?

[Q2] Could a user accept automatically any file shared with him?

Thank you for your valuable time and help.

Automatically accepting could pose a security risk.

It might be acceptable to allow auto-accepting when shares come from trusted federated instances, the goal being to make sharing as seamless as user shares.

Estimate 2md

• add new checkbox option to auto-accept federated shares
• if option is set and a federated share is incoming, mark it automatically as accept
• if the other option "automatically pair with server" is set (insecure), never automatically accept a federated share (the option must be greyed out and considered as false regardless)

add new checkbox option to auto-accept federated shares

Yep, right next to the auto-accept regular shares checkbox.
