I understand what you're saying about needless replication, however, if I didn't trust Canonical with my data, or weren't permitted to external web services from my corporate network? Having a dropbox like service in my corporate network is something the Windows world doesn't have, and gives us another chance to offer them Free Software solutions. Oh, also, the two ideas needn't be progressed in isolation. The UI could offer a series of back-end systems and a series of synchronization options (real time, daily, off-peak only, etc.). -- Jon "TheNiceGuy" Spriggs <blockquote type="cite">On 24 Jul 2010 10:12, "Dan Fish" <<a href="mailto:dan@fishms.org" target="_blank">dan@fishms.org</a>> wrote: On Sat, 2010-07-24 at 10:02 +0100, Jon Spriggs wrote: > I agree, and they aren't exactly fast. Remem...Jon, It a good idea and I agree with you that it wouldn't be about speed. I suppose what I proposed is more about long-term storage/archiving, not "I need that file now". I'm sure replicating dropbox/ubuntu one would be possible with some hard work, but as we already have Ubuntu One, wouldn't that be needless replication (though I do appreciate that the server end isn't open source!)
