A proposal for a receive-only folder type

[sisa]

@calmh

I’m more curious about “is this even what people want? What do people want?”.

Ok, this proposal nails it down very precice. Thank you @calmh!

@calmh

Maybe, undecided on this: On other devices that are send-only folders the “Override” button should light up when there are changes on a receive-only device. Pressing it will undo all the changes done on the receive-only folder and bring it back in line.

That seems intuitive to me, but on the other hand…

@brunod

I would [then] prefer to set locally that “I don’t want to be locally disturbed by any changes occuring on that only particular other device” if I cannot set it remotely to be receive only.

…I’d like to not have a (reddish nagging) button on the Send-Only folder for overwriting/revert changes on a Receive-Only folder.

Changes on the Send-Only folder should always (and silently) be overwritten or deleted on the Receive-Only folder. I’d like to have the Receive-Only folder to never send/overwrite/anounce any files/folders to other devices. Which is most likely this:

@scienmind

For me “receive only” means “accept stuff, but don’t alter the cluster with local changes, while being data-safe first and never auto-wipe stuff”

This is mainly my point of view for this topic and I don’t add any other “what I want is…”, because I made it here already here and here, and ppl. here also wrote, what I wanted to say.

Thanks again @calmh for your constructively summary of all our thoughts and words.
