Folder::uploadableBy() returned true for any staff member without looking
at the folder, on the strength of a comment saying staff had already
validated folder_id through FilesController's own flow. No upload path
did. FilesController::store() did not check the folder at all; the two
that called uploadableBy() — the API upload and the chunked upload the
browser actually posts to — called a guard that could only ever say yes.
A client-scoped staff member could therefore name any folder id and put
the file inside a subtree shared with somebody else's client, where
File::scopeVisibleToClient hands it over without an assignment row ever
being written. That is the boundary StaffLibraryScope's own docblock
claims to hold everywhere.
The staff branch now asks StaffLibraryScope::allowsFolder, which returns
true for unscoped staff, so nothing changes for them. The client branch
is untouched: a client is never client-scoped, and ownership or a public
folder opting into client uploads remains the whole of their rule.
The two folder pickers that fed those ids are narrowed the same way the
listings around them already are.
A file's history was only reachable from the library list, through the
details panel's Activity tab — so anyone who arrived at the file from a
link, a search or a notification had to go back and find the row they
came from to ask what had happened to it.
The file's own page now carries an Activity tab of its own, next to
General and Sharing: the twenty most recent entries, fetched only if the
tab is opened, and a link to the full history. It is behind the same
view_actions_log permission as everywhere else.
That full history is now filterable, which is the point of sending
somebody to it. The action list is built from the file's own log rather
than from the eighty-odd actions the software can record — all but a
handful of which can never apply to a file — and each option carries its
count. Downloads are three separate actions on purpose (a signed-in
recipient, a public link, the public group listing), so "All downloads"
asks that question once instead of three times; the group only appears
when the file's log actually holds more than one of its members.
Narrowing by who acted and by date range works the same as it does on
the main activity log, the reader's own calendar day included.
Client file sharing, rebuilt from the ground up: a private area per
client, resumable uploads, folders, groups and categories, sharing with
expiry dates and download limits, comments, file versions, an activity
log, a REST API, and sixteen languages.
