File Drop: Create confirmation / show file checksum #56
Description
Activity
I'm not entirely happy with the idea of cluttering the interface with a checksum, in 99% of the cases people don't know how to calculate them themselves. If we want to go into that direction we should do it in another way: Calculate the checksum locally and upload it to the server and then compare. If they do not match display an error.
Uploader can obtain an upload receipt to proof that a specific file has been uploaded (homework, bid, ...). Ideally with a digital signature.
I'd differentiate that a bit from the checksuming feature request as this sounds at least for me more interesting :-)

And this should not be done on the anonymous upload, but also for all other uploads.
I am looking forward to see "upload confirmation" by email. Additional email field working with Anonymous Uploads would be sufficient. My students use NextCloud to upload their homework and I heard few times already "I was sure that I sent it".

One of our clients is requesting upload confirmations as well. Both visual confirmation in the interface as well as email confirmations will be usefull.+1
This seems like a very useful feature and some of our clients (existing and potential) have been asking about.
Closing: we won't implement it
Great to see the file drop function being implemented (#4).
I think it could be useful to show a checksum of uploaded files:
