Currently you can not create other persons shares, you can only send files directly as you pointed out.
We are working on this though:
In the next version we want people to be able to create different shares and set for each buddy which shares they may see.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
is it possible to look at what our buddy has like file to divide ?
or only our friend must start the file to be sent ?
Sorry for my poor english .
