new elegant way to share files  
Written by georges the 5 Jan 13 at 20:56. Global category: Usability. New
consider UserA publishes a FileA on u1 via UrlA
UserA send UrlA to UserB
UserB needs a browser to download FileA and the file won't be imported to u1 app and it's annoying to look for downloaded file on mobiles/tablets.
Since u1 app will manage all my cloud files and list them in an elegant way, why can't I fool the app to download this file and to consider it as if it was mine since UserA had already publish it.

Solution #1: softlink
Written by georges the 5 Jan 13 at 20:56.
what if UserB can add a softlink to FileA in his cloud system by adding UrlA directly in the u1 app.
This way I got all my files managed by u1 app and I don't need the browser to download FileA.
All I am asking is a textfield and a button so I can enter UrlA and download the file to my phone as if it is mine and be managed by u1 app.
