In the current implementation of federated sharing between OCM-compliant sync-and-share services require the exchange of Federated Cloud IDs by end users. Now although this approach works, it is not very user-friendly. During the course of the EU-funded CS3MESH4EOSC project a so-called invitation workflow has been implemented in golang based on REVA-based sync-and-share services like CERNbox. What we have done is that we have implemented this invitation workflow in php so that it will work for both Owncloud10 as well as Nextcloud. Our goal here is to make sharing data with users of remote sync-and-share services just as easy for end-users as sharing data with local users.
