Add an approval process for sharing files/(directories hopefully soon??)...So for some organizations it is necessary for a manager/supervisor to approve files etc to be released outside the group/company, so provide a workflow approval process (maybe using the underlying Vibe workflow engine) to provide the capability for a manger/suppervisor/admin to release/decline the file. Maybe utilize the 'manager' fields in edir/ad or provide an ability to assign a group manager to groups/folders or even just a general 'release approver' in Filr. At first just do the release/decline mechanism by links in an emails to the assigned person, but then later to further enhance it by having an approvals webpage accessible via tab/drop/button in the web or mobile interfaces for the assigned release approver users.

This is available in both onedrive for business and drop box corporate, and I have customer asking for it, please vote for this to have it added! I really don't want to lose more customer to Microsoft online services!
The Filr codebase already has a workflow engine (inherited from Vibe) which could be easily leveraged for such. I want it used for reverse sharing and such. This is one those many reasons to vote for merging Filr, Vibe and Teamworks instead of reinventing the weel... in the end all want and/or need the Same.
