Seafile - dropbox type server

[firwareslut]

Thought this might be interesting as a future feature...

http://seafile.com/en/home/

It runs from python scripts so should be fairly easy to install on the NAS. I am testing it now with a private server and it works very well. I think it would be worth setting up both the client and the server parts.

I don't see any source code on that site ? and there are quite some binaries in the download for i386 processors. So with only Python you will not succeed.
But why would you need this having already many servers on board and have the web dav feature :scratch

I didn't know what WebDAV is but reading the Wiki i don't see how it's the same thing. Seafile is a Dropbox type server that allows you to sync any number of computers in any direction and is also accessible from mobile devices with an app. You can even stream from it. I thought it might be handy to allow the NAS to act as a server or even a client to an existing server that automatically provides two-way sync. I don't necessarily need it myself as I already have a Seafile server running on a dedicated, but i thought it might be interesting to the project here.

Hi firwareslut

Webdav = dropbox = Cloud but in our case the cloud is private (the NAS). You get an access everywhere with the http or https protocol.

So you have to only install a webdav client on your PC. Several clients have the sync feature.

Here a list of clients :http://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?t=2694
