Here is what I was curious about doing... One is to have afilesync and backup like Dropbox for sharing and accessing files from anywhere. There would need to be a client app that ran on a Windows device, or even a tablet/smartphone that automatically synced a certain folder or folders that you identify. On Dropbox you select one top folder/directory. Or perhaps there could be like a virtual drive (on windows we deal in drives instead of the unix file system). This might already be doable to create a map to a network drive. I don't know if that would work over the internet if one had the laptop outside the local network and you wanted to see certain files. Not sure if the network drive would show up in this scenario. I'm looking for options for non-techie people like my wife and many of my clients - the latter often need to get me images and other assets.
The other issue is streaming media to devices like my tablet, orother devices, pcs, from the Linux Centos box. Not sure if a Node.js solution is best or a php solution and/or if there are linux apps for Centos that do this.
