p2p file browser

What Feature would you like to see included within TaleSpire?
I’d like to propose a p2p file browser, window, viewer or whatever terminology applies to the following concept.
As a DM I often would like to share imagery or notes with my players be this through this can be to set the mood of a scene where a map wouldn’t really fit the purpose such as describing a grand forest or waterfall and it is jarring to have my players tab out an application or otherwise interrupt to flow of story telling to accomplish this.

I think having the ability as a DM to pull up a window for my players with a certain file would be great.
As a DM i’d like to be able to select a directory on my filesystem which I can browse within TaleSpire and open these files for myself or players. This directory could be p2p shared with players in a session when they connect however I do not believe it is needed for the players to be able to browse this directory from their end thus not having to deal with permission states of these resources.

A feature like this would inevitably lead to people attempting to store gigabytes of data within the selected directory for this I would propose to not pre-emptively share the directory. If the directory exceeds a certain I would propose to share the file selected by DM once they trigger the action to share it with their players with a size limit of course.

FIle types I would like to see supported are: .jpg, .png, .bmp, .gif (general image files) and .txt, .md (text files)
 

Additional Thoughts/Details
P2p to avoid hosting a bunch of files on TaleSpires end of the chain.
