Any kind of service discovery (akin to bonjour/windows SMB), so that other people would be easily able to find your share? And for those who hasn't got a autodiscovering client, it should be really easy to find the correct address of the sharing computers display. What about file uploads - making it possible for other people to upload data to your disk? (WebDAW perhaps?) Sharing other folders than the standard one? Making it possible to choose protocols at will - not only Apache/HTTP? How will it intereact with people who use workstations with NFS mounted homes? Somehow i have a feeling that this is extremely fitting for dynamic workgroup configurations (laptops etc) and home/small office withot servers or tech skill...
