With Talk 9 it will be possible to upload files directly to a chat from my local hard disk. That's already great!

Yesterday I had a call with some external people and they wanted to share something with the people in the call. Unfortunately guests are not allowed to upload files at the moment. It would be great if this would be possible in the future.

Of course this comes with a few questions. Probably the most important one: Where should we store files which are uploaded by guests?

Some ideas from my side to this question:

• Maybe it can go to the Talk attachment folder of the person who created the room or started the call? Probably the easiest solution.
• Another option: In combination with "Projects" the file could be uploaded to the attached folder, if more folder exists the guest could pick one. In order to promote the "Projects" feature a bit we could even use this as the condition whether guests are allowed upload files to a room or not. If a internal users added a folder to the room, guest uploads are allowed. If not only internal users can upload/attach files. Btw, in this case it could also make sense that uploads from internal users would go to the attached folder and not to the general Talk attachment folder.

The more I think about it, the more I like the projects idea... what do you think?
