[ZendTo] Re: Possibility of a Library

[Ortt, Richard]

This sounds like what we did with Pogoplug Biz (however the Biz product doesn't really work).

I would like to see the current single user upload to single/multiple users as it is now and the static library which can be shared as described.

For the library portion, it would also be nice if that could map to a webdav library.  That would allow users to upload files easily (even map into windows file explorer), and then use an interface to share the files.

Hi Jules,



I have just started setting up a Zend.to box and have it all working well! Fantastic work!



I was considering our requirements and one thing that we come across frequently is the need to send the same file to lots of people. Not necessarily at the same time like a multiple drop off. And I was thinking that an admin run library of "official files" that any user could create a new drop off for would be a really nifty way of achieving this. A critical distinction between the multiple dropoff and a library use is the different dropoff codes for each user entered instead of a single code for a multiple. This would allow the tracking of each request for pickup individually. The created dropoff shoudl expire with the regular timeframe.



For example an IT company has a pre-confiured remote support program that they send to a user when they need remote help, this file is the same for everyone. At the moment a new request needs to be created and the file dropped off everytime. This same scenario with a library the user would login, select the library and then create a new dropoff with the clients email of the file from the library. The original file is stored on the Zend.to box and is not subject to manipulation except by administrators.



Cheers

Jules
