Jarek Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 It's not exactly dropbox replacement but I think very interesting alternative is a Tonido (www.tonido.com) This software allows you to run your own Personal Cloud on your own server. I'm toying with the idea of running this on one of my PC's and accessing my files using build in webdav server. This software already has combination of clients and servers for Mac's, iOS, windows, linux and android. Having been able to run this on UNRAID would be enough of arm twist to try this software full time. This also has other features like collaboration, media streaming, blog, gallery and other plus ability to run PHP apps as plugins. By any means this is not perfect or for everyone but it's the best alternative I could find if you want your data to stay on your own server. Quote Link to comment
phenixdragon Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 That is pretty interesting. I will have to check it out. Quote Link to comment

opentoe Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I love the idea of Dropbox and all the other 20 other ones I signed up for to try out. BUT having like a dropbox client on the web being connected to my computer(s) at home would be fantastic! This all reminds me of the IMAP email system. Basically your run the IMAP client and it will connect to the IMAP email server. If you have two clients open and delete some email from that client the other client will automatically update and show those changes without the user doing anything. It is s REALTIME type service, the way these file sharing systems are. 2012 will be HUGE for cloud based services. I bought an Asus tablet and now have 8GB of storage space with Asus Webstorage service. Dropbox type interface. **Update** I just tried Tonido. Loaded it up on my Windows computers and then loaded it up on my Android tablet. Connected just fine. Was able to see my folder structure right from my Android tablet. Very cool. Just what I was wanting. Somehow it all filters and goes through the Tonido server, so there is a catch but yet to figure it out. I'd like to have a service just like this but not use a middle man server. I'd want it to directly connect to my server/window(s) computers. Quote Link to comment
Loch Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Tonido looks pretty interesting, but 250MB sync for free version makes it a pretty no go for me. I assume that means you can access all your files but only maintain 250MB syncing between computers. Sugarsync provides 5+GB for free (more for referrals and their intro "games").

I assume that means you can access all your files but only maintain 250MB syncing between computers. Sugarsync provides 5+GB for free (more for referrals and their intro "games"). I just installed this for the easy access to my LAN computers on my home network. Just type in the address and all my files are there, ready to download if needed. I'm not using it for syncing or keeping a cloud with files in it, which is only 256MB for the free version. 256MB is very low compared to other services, but I don't think Tonido has lots of hard drive space available anyway. It is pretty cool, needs some cosmetic changes but worth it when you need access to files at home. Quote Link to comment
publicENEMY Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Interested in this as well. Any success stories? Quote Link to comment
avajon Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Are there any users here who had success with sparkleshare? I tried it and ended that i can't add a user "git" which don't need a password... thanks avajon Quote Link to comment
Nelo Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 sparkleshare works for almost fine, sometime it shuts down for unknow reasons. I ran the script from http://natzo.com/doku.php?id=categories:linux:unraid:git-server to install the git-server and settings. For ssh keys I followed http://sparkleshare.org/set-up-a-host/ connect from sparkleshare via Adress "ssh://[email protected]" and "/git-repos/myrepogit" Quote Link to comment

Loch Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Owncloud has come a long way. They have desktop clients now too.. Are you currently playing with it on your systems? Would be interested to hear if anyone has this running on UnRaid. The external support for GDrive and Dropbox sounds interesting as well. Still waiting for the mobile apps. Quote Link to comment
grizzlywright Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I too would like to know if anyone is running owncloud on there unraid as I would be interested in having this setup myself but unsure how to do so. https://owncloud.org/ Quote Link to comment

RussellinSacto Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I had substantial success with Oxygen Cloud on Windows servers a year or two ago... They have a connector that's native to Linux... but I'm not sure if they plan to charge for this in the future? http://blog.oxygencloud.com/2012/04/19/oxygen-storage-connector-for-linux/ Russell Quote Link to comment
alphazo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I ran the script from http://natzo.com/doku.php?id=categories:linux:unraid:git-server to install the git-server and settings. I move my server to a new place. Please update the link: http://danynativel.com/blog/2011/08/18/setup-a-git-server-under-unraid/ Quote Link to comment
RussellinSacto Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Need a Linux guru to look at this for all of us: http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html Thanks ahead, Russell Quote Link to comment
RussellinSacto Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wow... Some people are already onto this... Check out this forum post: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27153.0 Good luck, Russell Quote Link to comment
Automatic Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Need a Linux guru to look at this for all of us: http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html Thanks ahead, Russell What's there to look at? It's still in alpha and has received quite a few bug reports of files randomly being deleted/overwritten, but, it does work and I've yet to see any errors (Although, not trusting it with anything important).

RussellinSacto Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Incase someone wanders here... There's a plugin for BitTorrent Sync that might work for this: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27153.0 Russell Quote Link to comment
