feature request - support public shared folders

[veselov]

Hello!

It would be nice if the access to shared public folders was supported as well.
In our case, we expose those to certain entities, for either upload or download.
However, some of the handled binaries can be quite large, and we see upload failures in the browser.

hello @veselov can you be more specific for describing the failures?
Do you see usecases working via "standard" access whereas failing when going through public links ?
Can you give a proper scenario for reproducing the issue ?

There are no failures.
I'm talking about public folders - access points that are created for distributing off of a particular sub-folder of a cell. Creating those issue a separate URL, and a password (no username).

Now, if all I have is such a link, and a password, I can't ask the client to authenticate against it, and then exchange files back and forth. The current authentication methods don't support that kind of authentication, not that I can see. If nothing else, the username is required, but that's not available for these links.
