    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.

    @hillside502 Oh, thanks for pointing that out! Something to keep in mind before we launch this for reals.

        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?

                  @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.

                    @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 On the Linux side, I believe Gnome and KDE both have native support for mounting webdav, not syncing to a local folder though. Not sure on other OSs.

                            Maybe storage already on S3, it's easier to maintain and it's scalable, redundant, easy to have a remote backend for storage.

                            A good fit for the new multiserver cloudron.

                                @girish instead of doing just an app integration, I think making it a general Cloudron integration would be better, and cover a lot more apps.
                                Mount S3 and store certain directories of Apps there.

                                  @robi I guess you mean something like a s3fs or fuse mount? From whag I have heard, they are not very stable. And also, they don't support file permissions and meta data afaik .

                                    @nebulon @girish will there be a search option for files? It will be nice to have an indexing mechanism for files that are already ocr'd, instead of just looking for the file names.

                                        I will,
                                        I just think that standard storage backend will make also your job easier to maintain it in the future.

                                          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"
                                              }
                                          }
                                          

                                          Does this not work with OnlyOffice?

                                          OnlyOffice uses a different kind of API and iframe integration, which is currently not implemented. I've created a feature request for this at https://github.com/cloudron-io/cubby/issues/18
