[AusNOG] Anyone know how to... Cloud Storage

[Burt Mascareigne]

It’s interesting that there is SUCH a huge market for Private Cloud.

We are desperate for one,  we’ll pay up to $1000 to get a WhiteBox Private Cloud solution.

All our hops and dreams rest with : http://www.syncany.org/

Also,  they seem to have gone nothing,  development has come to a stand still.

I can only imagine how much money the 1st person to make Private Cloud Storage Sync solution would make.

If anyone knows of something like Syncany,  I would be most interested.

Basically it doesn't exist (yet).

SparkleShare is the closest candidate but it will replicate all the externall stored data (although with a shallow clone, you might be able to get what you are after). But you might want to keep an eye on git-annex.

Hey all,

I've been looking for a Cloud storage solution, but haven't succeeded in finding exactly what I want so far.

I like Dropbox and Google Drive (especially GD), but they both have the problem where they are replicating a primary user, then syncing to all sources.

We're trying Google Drive now, and I've uploaded 30Gb of data, but that has (as expected) sync'd to each machine the full 30Gb of shared files... taking up lots of space.

What I really want is:

- Cloud stored as a primary point - not replicating an initial desktop
- Cache controlled - only cache xGb of data (full files) and perhaps just pointers to the rest - especially rarely used things.
- Appears as a folder on the machine (like Dropbox/Google Drive)
- Security controls per share (or user)
- Full backups and version rollback

Google Drive/Dropbox on the iPad/Android do the caching well - only getting what you need when you need it, and caching a certain amount.  Full OS machines just sync everything it seems.

I have been asked many times if I know any solution like this... and perhaps I just haven't come across it yet and it is out there.

Thanks in advance for any responses.
