@lnielsen How would this work? User provides a URL and Invenio downloads the URL response?

Yes...........useful for owncloud/dropbox integration

Naturally some sort of restrictions should be involved to not allow blanco download from anywhere.

@lnielsen Thanks! As @emanueldima said it makes sense to use this for B2Drop integration as it is based on OwnCloud. I don't have time to work on this right now but if nobody takes it I will do it later. We can already start talking about the design.

Questions:
1/ Should we just give an URL or also the Content-Type?
2/ Should we have a dedicated upload jobs endpoint enabling the listing of jobs and their status so that we can show to the user what is happening?

1/ Should we just give an URL or also the Content-Type?

I'm not sure about the API yet. But we should have a look at how other cloud services does it

2/ Should we have a dedicated upload jobs endpoint enabling the listing of jobs and their status so that we can show to the user what is happening?

Yes, I would assume so. Note that there's already a celery progress updater callback, which will set the status of a celery task to the percentage which has been written/downlaoded - then we just need a REST API to expose those numbers…..

Does ownCloud have something equivalent?
