Selective media copying
- UserA owns GMG ServerA.
- UserA goes to GMG ServerB and sees an image.
- UserA puts URL of the image into his ServerA.
- ServerA fetches the image from ServerB with all metadata, so it becomes available at ServerA.
- Access (both viewing and copying) to the image might require authentification.
- The result should (must at least if authentification was required) be marked private by default.
- It should be possible for the result to have a visible reference to its source.
- ServerB may be notified of the copying, so that it can link to the result, if it chooses to.
Another use-case
- UserA has private ServerA at home (possibly not accessible from outside), and an account at remote ServerB.
- UserA stores media in ServerA (possibly uploading by copying to a directory), and has the option of uploading all or parts of it to his ServerB account.
