Builders: drop photos and sounds onto your Mongoose drive

Your Mongoose drive (https://mongoose.world/dav/, the one the Apps tab connects) now has two more folders, photos and sounds. Each builder sees only their own.
Copy a picture into photos and, a few seconds after it has finished copying, the game takes it: it becomes a photo you carry and is read just like one from the Photos tab, and the game tells you when it is read. To make an album, make a folder inside photos and copy the pictures into it; they become one album and are read together. Pictures must be JPEG, PNG, GIF or WebP, up to 4 MB. Anything else is removed from the folder and you are told why. A doorbell or camera snapshot saved with a video stream header in front of the picture is refused from the drive; the Photos tab still takes those.
Copy a sound into sounds (WAV, FLAC, MP3, OGG, Opus, M4A, AIFF or WMA, up to 100 MB) and it is added to the sound library: converted, catalogued and placed under players/<your number>/. The game tells you its path, for example "Gentle Rain.wav is in the sound library as players/2271/2271-1793590331-2189349/gentle-rain.m4a", and that path is also its address under https://mongoose.world/sounds/. If the library already has that sound, nothing new is added and you are told so.
The Photos tab in the web client now sends your pictures to the same photos folder; you use it as before. Several pictures chosen together still become one album.
Limits: only builders and programmers can use these folders. A file disappears from the folder once the game has taken it.
