P2P File Sending

[dannymohammad (Ahmad Danial)]

Hello, @langemeijer

Thank you for sharing the suggestions. I checked on both links and wanted to try them. However, I ran into some issues with sharedrop (file transfer failed) and the choose file was disabled for WebRTC group sharing :

Nevertheless, I would still consider a P2P file sharing feature as an extra add-on / integration for Mattermost as it adds extra value to allow big file transfers since the default file sharing works fine:

I won’t bluntly say that it cannot support P2P file sharing due to security issues, hence the statement “might explain” in my response earlier. Since Mattermost focuses primarily on enterprise communication, I don’t think large data transfer feature would fit as a requirement especially when uploaded files are kept in the server by default and not automatically purged after a specific period of time as @JtheBAB had mentioned.

In this case, I would say an integration will be pretty awesome to have.
