This file service only serves files. Files already have to exist using the same system as the file-service. This service is only for retreiving those files by their share:// instead of their proper virtual file UUID.

• SHARE_FOLDER: this is the path to the folder with the files to serve. This can also be the folder of the file service. (default: /share/)
• FILES_GRAPH: graph where the file metadata is stored. This has to match with the file services graph, or the one used by the service storing the metadata. (default: http://mu.semte.ch/files/).

This follows the API of the file-service closely, but only for the getting of file metadata and downloading the file.
