    Good news, a highly anticipated development! With a shared storage with the Syncthing app I suppose the apps may work in conjunction?

      Just tried the latest release and I love it! I think I'd be ready to use it once I can do the following:

      1. Sync via webdav
      2. Manage users
      3. Configure storage limit per-user
      4. Use OnlyOffice

      Right now I use NextCloud for email + calendar + files + contacts. I'd like to move the first three to Sogo and use Cubby as a dedicated file storage app for clients. It looks promising! Keep up the excellent work!

        @atridad usermanagement is probably out-of-scope for some time, since on Cloudron this would be done in the Cloudron dashboard. There is a small cli tool already though for local non-LDAP users.

        If you have any specific feature requests around that, might be good to open a github issue to track those.

          Just seen this, nice work! @nebulon & @girish I can see the need, potential and definitely happy to help with testing and feedback.

          The Apps I do find handy in Nextcloud, that I think are fair-game to be features for Cubby, without being feature-creep, are the Photos Explorer and Map Explorer for Photos. Our users really like both of those in Nextcloud, although wish they were a bit faster of course!

          Mountain Duck pretty-much does everything the Nextcloud sync app does for those looking at alternatives there, although at a cost.

          I'd like to see a Compact view, similar to Google Drive. These over-sized, over-spaced UIs do seem to infantalise things to me, when anything used in anger really needs to make better use of screen space when most users are on smaller screens.

            @marcusquinn yeah, the first goal currently is to get the file sharing aspect work well (and syncing either via nextcloud client or other webdav clients).

            Photos has to explored in the future whether this is to be a totally separate app or part of cubby.

              GitHub issues logged.

              Perhaps some inspiration for a Compact view:

                Is Cubby reliable enough to have some basic cloud storage?

                  If you wanted to really make for a killer feature, I guess you could mount existing Nextcloud file systems in Cubby, so one could use either interface and migrate as Cubby matured and made Nextcloud redundant for those not wanting all the plugins.

                    @marcusquinn said in Cubby - Open Source File Sharing:

                    Photos Explorer and Map Explorer for Photos. Our users really like both of those in Nextcloud, although wish they were a bit faster of course!

                    I'm hopeful we'll get PhotoPrism one day soon which I think does that stuff too (and likely much faster than Nextcloud)

                    I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                      Thank you to everyone involved with creating and maintaining Cubby! It looks and works really well for me, especially considering it's still in beta.

                      Please, can somebody clue me in on how to use volumes with it? I tried mounting something but there's no way to switch the path to the volume as far as I can make out.

                        @3246 thanks for trying Cubby, as you realized, it is still only some alpha basically and has no support for volumes yet. But it will get support for volumes. Most likely though not in the same way other apps have, but more like a volume is its own storage, to be able to have multiple data volumes for different purposes.
