Re:Upspin – Another option for file sharing on Tuesday February 21, 2017 @07:09PM (#13701562)
> If one wants to post a Facebook picture on one’s Twitter feed, one does that by downloading the data from Facebook and then uploading it to Twitter. Shouldn’t it be possible to have the image flow directly from Facebook to Twitter?

How does my upspin file "[email protected]/pub/hello.jpg" solve the problem here? I would have a single source for my image to share but still no way to describe an image hosted by FB as an upspin address.
