[FEATURE REQUEST] Activate App only for certain folders or paths

[Nils160988]

It would be really nice if it is possible to restrict the app to certain folders or paths. Some kind of white- and/or blacklisting.

Given the usecase of a group of many different users with some folder which is shared among them. All users have only read permission on this folder. Having only read access, showing the documents within ONLYOFFICE is not necessary and a waste of resources. But the users should still be able to work on other documents in other folders or on files they shared with one or the other user individually.

If I deactivate ONLYOFFICE, no collaborative editing will be possible at all, but if I activate it, it will cause problems if some 20 users access the files simultaneously.

Do you think this might be possible?

@Nils160988, we will take your suggestion into consideration.

In version 2.1.3 we added limited access for groups May be it will help you?

Thank you for your answer, but it would not help as the users should be able to use ONLYOFFICE in general, but it should not open automatically in some folders, especially if the folders are readonly.
