Agreed. But in this case, I would not store -important- files in these
shared folders. But on the other hand, this would, for example, make a
file transfer easier, because the receiver can delete the files and the
sender knows that they are received.
I think this feature would also be quiet important for collaborations,
where more than a single user is responsible for organizing the data
shared along the group ( I try to setup owncloud in a university context).
