If I wanted to share files with someone, I'd set them up with a direct mode repository and link it to my (probably indirect mode) repository.
The question then becomes, how can this person decide which files to get if they don't want to or cannot get everything. I think that [[tips/File_manager_integration]] is a pretty good answer, although it does involve adding extensions to file managers. At least it involves adding something, rather than convincing a suprisingly large number of people that their ideas about symlinks are wrong. There are other possible answers, like building a file selection UI into the webapp..

the problem with this is that you end up having two copies of the same files (the direct and indirect repositories). also, the switch to direct mode exploded (because i screwed up, granted)....
i have been thinking more and more than the webapp needs to have some sort of file manager as well, but that seems like a huge undertaking...
a better file manager integration could certainly allow to improve this experience. for me the requirements would be:
* \"clone this repo to\" - make a copy of this git annex repo to the specified target
* \"annex-copy those files to\" - the above + a file-transfer-like dialog that would track the total file transfer (as opposed to \"begin/end\" of single files, see also [[todo/do_not_bug_me_about_intermediate_files/]])
* probably some more stuff

All you need to do is unzip your zip file, and then `git annex add` or `git annex import` its contents. It will then automatically deduplicate.
Due to the way compression works, two zip (or gz) files with identical contents but different checksums are unlikely to share many bytes in common. So git-annex cannot help with de-duplicating unless you unzip them.
