Cubby - Open Source File Sharing

I'll run this in parallel with nextcloud to see if I can ditch it alltogether. Nicely done guys!
In think the only thing I'd miss is the next cloud integration with PopOS

@atrilahiji It will take a bit to get there to replace nextcloud itself but would be great to just get some feedback on what features are needed to replace it. Feel free to open feature requests on GitHub directly.

@atrilahiji no worries this is great, a lot of things are in vague states or not yet fully wired up in the UI. But with the issues I can work through them one by one.
@nebulon Hahaha perfect. Since its fairly early in the development of this app, I might try to take a look and see if I don't get overwhelmed trying to contribute and knock some of those off too. Thankfully I mostly work with Vue

Until 5 years ago, Cubby was the name of a proprietary LogMeIn app with a similar purpose. Hopefully, you guys won't have problems with IP rights.

Name suggestion: "Fileron"

My hope for this is to eventually replace Nextcloud for file storage. And move to Cubby for files, SoGO for email/cal/contacts, and so on. Moving away from one app that does everything kind of ok to multiple good specialized apps.

Today I went to install Cubby. As I scrolled down to its place in the App Store I coudn't help but compare everyone else's logos/icons with the plain file folder icon of Cubby. You probably are planning to create a more stand-out logo/icon for it, so here is a suggestion:
Rather than creating a derivative of YAFF (yet another file folder), take the existing Cloudron logo and turn that into a file folder-looking image. I suppose with the angles it might end up looking more like a partially open door, if it stays vertical. You'd have to tilt it forward somewhat in order to get the darker background "folder" effect.
And further along those lines, if you have more custom made Cloudron apps, each could be a variation of the main Cloudron icon.
Just some thoughts. Congratulations.

@scooke yes, the folder icon is really just a place holder logo. We need to find some time to make some real logo.
That's great!
I'll try this out, I share your frustrations with regard to the current solutions.
For me the most important part is the sync aspect from mobile/desktop. I want to have a straightforward and firstclass experience sharing files between my devices.
Do you have in mind what the future workflow will be like in that regard?

@robi ha, yes lots of placeholder content still.
For anyone interested in the collabora integration, if you install collabora on the same Cloudron and then edit the config.json for cubby like the following with your collabora domain, it can already open ods and odt files:
{ "collabora": { "host": "https://office.example.com" } } -
@ruihildt From what I understood of the post, the idea is to use existing WebDAV sync clients. So there should already be good ones for all platforms.
I'm sure some of these are things you already had in mind but I figured it might as well be tracked.
