A portal for network (and other) gvfs mounts

Open matthiasclasen opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Currently, if you need access to gvfs functionality inside the sandbox, the only option is to allow access to gvfs-daemon, which makes all network mounts available.

There should maybe be a portal in the middle, for more granular access to gvfs functionality.

What's the goal here?

  • That apps access network mounts to be able to present them in their user interface?
  • Or that apps have the ability to open and save files to network mounts and/or have a "persistent folder" (e.g., persistent backup location)?
  • Or both?

Important: The app can't acquire network access with network mounts.
