  Title: file sharing, Backup System like DropBox/Ubuntu One
   
  openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation
  Priority
      Requester: Desirable
   
  Requested by: Frank Bechstein (currios)
   
Description:
  File sharing Service like Ubuntu One. For Example it could be done with
  Novells Ifolder Software, so the only thing that OpenSuse would need to
  get it done would be a Server.
   
  Discussion:

  Packages nautilus-dropbox and dropbox-cli are in Contrib repository.
  DropBox is superior solution to Ubuntu One. Also there is iFolder
  available ...
   
  #2: Luis Medinas (lmedinas) (2010-01-06 18:22:38) 
  I also agree with Pavol what you can request is for openSUSE or Novell
  to sponsor a server for ifolder.

  Just wondering out loud: would it make sense to partner with a company
  (dropbox, spideroak, or any other one) here? I know that you can
  already get some free space, but we could possibly have a better
  integrated experience in some way...

  Could be but I think novelle has a really good Software on the start
  this topic, too. And of course it would be a Marketing feature for
  OpenSuse also.
   
  #3: Frank Bechstein (currios) (2010-01-10 02:40:59) 
  Right an IFolder Server for OpenSuse would be great!
   
  #4: Drew Kwashnak (dragonbite) (2010-01-10 04:48:16) 
  What about modifying the iFolder client to work with
  Dropbox/UbuntuOne? 
  With UbuntuOne, the innovation is not the online storage, it is the
  integration *using CouchDb?) to synchronizing Evolution contacts,
  Firefox bookmarks and Tomboy notes so if set up right one could hop
  between two or more configured computers and have their systems
  automatically synch up with any changes.

  So nobody has to invent the wheel twice :)
   
  #8: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2010-05-12 12:28:06) 
  We are in conversation with spideroak. They now offer an openSUSE
  package for download, https://spideroak.com/download/ Next step is to
  get this into the non-OSS part of openSUSE Factory and to sign a
  redistribution agreement between Spideraok and Novell. So this is work
  in progress.
   
  #9: Thomas Schmidt (digitaltomm) (2010-05-12 14:40:54) (reply to #8)
  Why not use dropbox, which can integrate in gnome and kde and also has
  a command line interface? This would bring us closer to the integration
  that ubuntu one has.
   
  #10: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2010-05-12 15:12:09) 
  sipmle, dropbox not even answered my request, spideroak did.
   
  #11: Frank Bechstein (currios) (2010-07-30 14:27:57) (reply to #10)
  cool that it is implemented in 11.3 thx
   
  #12: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-09-06 18:36:14) 
  FWIW, in Factory (and GNOME:Apps), we have sparkleshare which can be
  used for this. That's what the GNOME design team uses. It's built on
  top of git.
   
+ #13: nick skeen (ns89) (2010-09-06 22:12:25) 
+ Rsync does both of these doesn't it?
