Yeap. I'll add this!

Right, I think that both can be relevant: sharing files between Tails
and other operating systems, both for the same person and with other people.
Let's say your are a video journalist and use Tails only for publishing,
but you stick to your beloved macOS for editing because it's so much
better for you. How do you move your files from macOS to Tails? Do you
open your hard drive in Tails? Do you use unencrypted USB sticks? Do you
use some other tool that we don't know about? Do you push your files
somewhere encrypted online?
These questions are more open-ended but could tell us more about the
habits of people who integrate Tails in their ecosystem.

Yeap. I'll add this.
I updated the research plan based the feedback of the two of you
(thanks!) and pushed it to the cleaned up blueprint:
http://tails.boum.org/blueprint/veracrypt
and a113b01b0b
Today and tomorrow I'll work on transforming these into a survey and
test it with a few people next week.
