This really isn't a CentOS specific queation but that is our server OS of choice.
I manage a student file server and i would like to add cloud access to it. Basically i would like our students to have access to the same files at home that they have at school. This would allow them to start an asignment at home, finish it at school, and print it off without having to worry about losing their usb drive. I want it housed on our servers for backups and ease of access for our teachers when necessary.
I have looked at Moodle but it has way to many layers that we are not interested in. I would like something like squirrel mail. A simple web login that then gives you access to your samba managed files.
I have repeatedly searched for such capabilities but i have not found any that fit what i outlined above. Is there such a program out there?
I think iFolder would do what you want (someone else mentioned it already). I don't know, though, if you need OES (Novell Open Enterprise Server) to make it useful in a larger environment with more users.
It will take care of the synchronisation in the background.
But I'm not so sure about the longevity of the project as such - I don't specifically track it, and it looks like not many updates got published over the last months...
