   You can use this for now in config to completely disable this feature:

   {
      "share": "disabled"
   }
   

   This should be the default though, i completely agree

   I agree, this makes it way too easy to inadvertently upload user data without informed consent. At the very least, there should be a confirmation dialog that informs the user what is being uploaded to where, and allows them to opt out.

   This is a serious UX and privacy issue.

   @ruslanakhmetov1986-collab : As a fellow user I understand and share your frustration, but I cannot condone the tone of your message. It looks like it was written in the heat of the moment. Maybe you could edit it?
