Description
Spice has support for shared folders using WebDAV protocol and a simple and stable API for its usage [0]. The documentation to enable folder sharing with Spice is documented in its manual [1].

A daemon in the guest is necessary in order to make a good integration with the desktop. In both Linux and Windows, spice-webdavd can be used which is part of Phodav project [2]

Some UI mockups for Boxes can be found here [3]
Remote-viewer can be used as example of client implementing shared folder with Spice like [4] and later patches!
