Pydio free file sharing

[A Former User]

Repo is here: https://git.atridad.dev/alt-ron/cloudron-pydio-app

Its very experimental right now. Looks like it needs a restart once you finish the setup. Now to automate (whatever I can, anyways).

Also now I have an issue with their collabora plugin. Looks like it just comes up blank and I cannot figure out if its something I am doing, an issue with the collabora app, or an issue with the Pydio app.

OK I did some testing and found a few things:

The good:

• F A S T
• Clean UI

The bad:

• Horrible mobile app (can't even do native sharing?????)
• On the topic of the app, there is no mobile sync to be found...
• High resource usage while doing shit all
• LDAP is only on the enterprise distribution
• OnlyOffice is only on the enterprise distribution
• The Collabora integration doesn't play nice with the cloudron Collabora app

Its a cool app but fails to meet my needs. Either way I guess the code is there if anyone has an inclination to take it further.

@atridad Thanks for your efforts and testing! It’s another case of having great software and doing the mobile app as an afterthought, I guess, like so many others. Today should always be mobile first!

Absolutely, though sometimes some open source apps have started development before the 'mobile happening' so I guess that makes it more difficult to them to get on the bandwagon.

Cheers!

@murgero very nice! Is pydio like nextcloud but just for file sharing ? It also seems the project is now called "Cells" , is it?

[A Former User]

@girish yeah. It runs on a golang backend I think. Works alright. The mobile app isn’t quite as good as Nextcloud’s but it imo it’s better layout on the browser compared to nextcloud.

@murgero Oooooo is this pydio cells or the older PHP version? I cant remember what issues I had packaging it but im glad you got it working!

[murgero]

@girish @atridad yeah - packaged it last night. It's Pydio Cells now. This is the latest stable cells version as of last night.

It takes like 5 minutes for the first boot but after that runs fast. It has some issues with file permissions still but I'll work on that later.

Well, it has WebDAV access, so there are a few more options for mobile apps: https://pydio.com/en/docs/kb/client-applications/using-webdav-clients

Oh wow, significantly faster than Nextcloud!

@murgero does this include LDAP?

[murgero]

@marcusquinn Enterprise version includes ldap - I have left the ldap add-on from cloudron enabled in-case someone else comes up with a solution for that.
