@dvolps @gerrymcgovern one issue with email specifically, is it only transports text-encoded data, not pure binary, so binary attachments need to be converted to base64 (and i think encoded in utf-7?), which is quite wasteful, and iirc can increase volume by 30% or so.
Also, every forward creates not one but multiple copies of the file, instead of just copying the link to the file, it is a pretty catastrophic design for file sharing.
