yeah, I also like 1st case, in fact I tried to implement it in Library-1
but at the end decided to do it in shell(and tried to propose it in two
sucrose cycles), but now I'm sure such features should be done out or
core, e.g. we can have short development cycle(since its only about
implementation of one feature) and several implementation to choose
right one.

I'm going return to Library and we will have two sharing activities
FileShare and Library-2.
