I split up your post and answered, but I think you are seriously overthinking things.


Thankyou everyone on input,
So my other points,ie do files shared in unshared folders, show up on 'browse'
YES

and do they show if 'uploaded'
YES

havn't been answered yet, and yes security was a factor in asking, as was genuine confusion.and as to extra flexibility, this is hardly 'Crystal clear' to anyone ,let alone the new user.and why cant you as LOTR suggests decide to 'Not share' in the library,
YOU CAN

they dont SHOW in the library???
THE DO UNDER INDUVIDUALLY SHARED FILES

If I understand this,once you have ticked the box,all downloads are shared,whichever folder they are in? as they dont 'Show' a lot of people will not realise what they are sharing?
THEY SHOULD BECAUSE THEY SHOW

Hence my other unanswered questions
