Coming from read-only removable drives, this is use case 1: use inserts an ext formatted filesystem that he built at home (so files are owned by uid 1000) in the office computer (where he is uid 1001). Now, this is a limitation of UNIX-style removable drives, admittedly, but I would expect to be able to sync "down" from the hard drives to copy the contents locally.

So in short, expected behavior:

  1. insert the drive
  2. drive is shown in the webapp menu
  3. add the drive as a remote for the local repo
  4. sync the content from the drive to the local repo

Actual behavior:

  1. insert the drive
  2. drive is not shown in the webapp menu
