Avi,<div><br></div><div>I was thinking of something like that as a basic solution too but didn't know where to start to be honest, I have shellinabox running so I suppose a script which allows a file to be uploaded and transferred would suffice. The storage could then be limited by adding limits per users on the server itself.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have always meant to learn python or similar so I suppose now would be a good time to start, it can't be any worse than doing this lot: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall</a> :)</div>

To summarise what I'm after:<br>
<br>
- The storage must be accessible from any browser as many networks block<br>
ftp ports etc or only have 80& 443 open.<br>
- Have individual profile spaces (So, Storage limits can be applied to a<br>
particular user, other users cannot access files that are not their own,<br>
that sort of thing)<br>
- Not have speed restrictions, the transfers must be as quick as the<br>
network allows.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
My first, entirely uncloudy, thought is to have sshd listen on port 80, a web server on 443 and write a client (a short bash or perl script) that rsyncs stuff over ssh.<br>
<br>
I might be highlighting my unfamiliarity with dropbox, however.<br>
