Hey,
This would make it very easy to communicate with external customers and quickly discuss files (for example when being dealt with or if there are changes and such). Other than creating a share link an actual discussion with video chat etc. would be much more useful.
May the force be with you!

feature: upload & shares & voice đ¤đī¸
With Talk 9 it will be possible to upload files directly to a chat from my localâĻ 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?

enhancement
feature: chat đŦ
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
1. All attâĻ achments from all conversations appear in the same "Talk" folder. When dealing with lots of conversations, the number of files is very high.
2. The attachments are shared with many people, as single file shares. So the "Share overview" becomes too crowded and barely usable.
3. Could technicall help solving https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/3347 to view all attachments in the slideshow for a single conversation.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
- Store the attachments using one subfolder per conversation
- Use folder shares to share with all participants
- Offer to "unshare from self" when leaving a conversation.
Not sure what name to use for the subfolder. The room name is intangible and might change. But the room id is too technical.
**Further benefits**
It would also make it possible to sync files posted to specific conversations also instead of all.
It would also make it possible to add a button to toggle between the attachment folder and the conversation, for https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/1577
**Further ideas**
In theory it could even make it possible to auto-post a file to a conversation just by adding it to the folder (but needs to track what was already posted and duplicates, maybe too fancy and not useful...)

Be sure to share the link of whichever issue you either personally file or find as an existing issue that encapsulates your request.
Fwiw, I really like your idea. It makes sense whether people upload or not. Making uploads easily available and obvious for non-technical users sounds like a great goal.
