Comment(by jsgf):

 Perhaps the best thing would be to add a nice obvious "share" button whose
 default action is to create an immutable snapshot of the directory and
 offer that URL for cut'n'paste.  An immutable snapshot is the safest thing
 for people to share, since the current state is all the recipient will
 ever see, and there's no risk of accidentally leaking future changes
 without realizing it.  More risky share options should be available of
 course, but they should take an extra step to achieve.
