API integration

[andymarden]

This is where I am would like to get to:

A significant use care for fileshelter is integration with email clients. The workflow goes something like this:

• you compose and email with one or more attachments
• config identified that together they breach a threshold (eg 10mb)
• in the background (or optionally with confirmation), the files are sent via an API to fileshelter and the download link returned
• the attachments are removed from the email and replaced with the returned link

There are already a ninety if similar plugins for Thunderbird for example, which do this with services like dropbox, etc but it would be great to have it in s self-hosted fileshelter setup.

Obviously, outside of fileshelter, plugins need to be developed on email clients but, in order to enable this, fileshelter needs to be able to be invoked via an API POST request.

So, questions:

• good idea?
• on the roadmap already?
• already provided (I just didn't notice it)? 😂
