For some use cases, it looks like a read-only access should be sufficient (and actually preferable), such as cases #1 and #3.
For the #2 (app syncing your online photos) write access would also be needed.

So, ideally, when granting permanent access to a location, it would be
great if the developer can specify whether the access needs to be read
only or read-write.

Title:
  Support "permanent" connections

Status in content-hub package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There are some use cases where it would be desirable to create a
  permanent "connection" between content sources and consumers.

  Some that I could think of:
  - a directory to put your ebooks in that Beru can look at
  - an app syncing your photos online
  - contact groups to give apps access to

  My proposal is that, when applicable, the user could check a checkbox
  in the share UI to make a share permanent, and apps could then request
  data from their permanent shares on startup, or a registered helper
  could get notified on change.
