What I'd love to have is a deposit of files to be shared within a group of people.

Say we're 8 friends traveling through the middle of Greenland (read: no niceties like WiFi), and on the evening we want to share the photos of the day with everyone else.

In short, an evolution of the myriad of file sending copycats that exist: the same idea but for a shared bucket of files (I don't think doing N individual shares fits the bill, that'd just be a poor man's solution for the lack of a proper alternative)

Commenting this in hopes that the HN popular wisdom knows about something similar! :)

Maybe one could modify an existing server based file sharing app and add a public/private key mechanism that only people who have shared their keys with the server will get to keep their files on the server, if they key doesn’t match what the client signed with and was pre-registered it gets deleted instantly. That would prevent CSAM etc from a hostile intrusion. Of course it requires vigilance of the group. I envision this working for small groups who have email or Signal contacts with each other. It needs that “it takes a village to manage a friends share” mentality.
