 * Hello,
 * first of all: this plugin is great – thank you!
 * Well, I was expecting to see on the documents page (Domain/BuddyDrive)the files
   I have access to. I find the files under my profile, but just there; same for
   groups – the files are there. Is my Documents-page broken or is it always supposed
   to be blank? Sorry if I might have missunderstood something…
 * I renamed the slug to domain/docs and the title to Documents – I understood thats
   possible after the recent update, right?
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for your feedback, it’s on purpose, the domain/buddydrive or whatever 
   you choose for the plugin’s WordPress page is acting like a rooter to force the
   download of files regarding their privacy options. For a password protected file,
   you’ll see that this page is asking for a password.
 * Unlike other file sharing system, BuddyDrive’s goal is to provide your members
   with a file sharing system they “control”. So they can choose to share publicly
   a file “they own” using the activity component, or to benefit from a group to
   share it with its members, or to share it with their friends, to protect it with
   a password or to share it privately (that is to say to restrict it to them only!).
 * So from my point of view the “they own” part of a BuddyPress powered community
   is in the domain/members/username part, that’s why i didn’t made a global page
   for downloads. I understand people who feel different about this, but that’s 
   a road i’m not ready (don’t want so far) to take.
