Resource-wise, messenger applications tend to be on the lightweight side of the spectrum. This drastically changes when file transfers are added to the equation. File transfers can introduce arbitrary more resource-usage, both on network and data storage aspects. To alleviate this issue, stateless file sharing empowers the user to make informed decisions on which files to load.
Deliverables
• Unified handling of http and jingle (peer-to-peer) file transfers
• Enable sending metadata alongside files
• Thumbnail previews for images
