i guess it will not be possible to find the perfect default for all use 
cases.

nevertheless i would like to put an extra option forward to be 
considered, and that would be an "invite option", basically that users 
can sent a "friend" request to a username they know that needs to be 
accepted before being able to see and them and share files.

not sure if this will be in-line with the KISS principle and will be to 
overcomplicated to implement as an option, but i thought i'd add the 
idea on the list here anyway.
