 * Yes it can be activated for groups, from the front admin panel, there’s a tab
   to do so, or you can activated from the new back end group admin UI.
 * But BuddyDrive uses group as a privacy option, files or folders are uploaded 
   from the user’s BuddyDrive page and he has the choice to share its file or folder
   with one of his group.
 * In the group, the BuddyDrive “Explorer” is in a read only mode.
 * “only for groups” : i don’t want BuddyDrive to be a kind of substitute to the
   plugin BP Group Documents. So it will never be “only for groups”, it’s first 
   focused on user.

 * Is there a way to make this option default to “on” not off? That would save people
   needing to go into admin and turn it on every time a new group is created, and
   for all the existing groups when installed.
 * I also suggest adding this part to the instructional video. I thought the plugin
   was broken when it said “No group available for BuddyDrive”. In the video, you
   fix this by joining the group. I am already in 7 groups, so I thought there was
   a bug.
 * Thanks for the awesome plugin!

 * Thanks for your feedback. It’s like opt-in opt-out.. I chose opt-in and to let
   the choice to group admin to activate or no BuddyDrive. I agree, about the demo
   video. If i find time, i’ll improve this part.

 * Hi imath,
 * Very interesting plugin. Is there any way there could be restrictions based on
   roles? Only admins have buddydrive, or only admins and editors, etc. Having everyone
   been able to upload could work for certain communities, but for others perhaps
   only for certain roles it makes sense. Also, when a group is hidden there is 
   no option of uploading files to that group any reason why?
 * That being said, this is an excellent plugin with a lot of potential.
 * Thanks,
 * Rafa

 * Hi – I’m sorry … I feel dense here. Reading through this, it appears the issue
   has been resolved… but I am getting “No group available for BuddyDrive”.
 * How exactly do I make a user’s group appear in that dropdown? Very puzzled!
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Okay, got it!
 * Group Admin clicks Group Name -> Admin -> BuddyDrive -> Activate BuddyDrive.
 * Yeesh! (I’ll have to add some help text to the site for that one.)
