More info is available at the git.hub site. This includes some extra plugins and extensions and some useful information. Such as how to add a facility to take photos on your phone>send them to Dropbox >and then into your Lychee set up. https://github.com/electerious/Lychee Most of the information on the net mentions " MySQL" like this excellent guide to setting Lychee up on Raspberry Pi. http://www.pihomeserver.fr/en/2014/01/23/raspberry-pi-home-server-heberger-toutes-vos-photos/ For those of you that do not want to use MySQL you can use MariaDB as this guide on how to install Lychee on a Ubuntu VPS shows, https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/install-lychee-on-an-ubuntu-vps/ If you want to be at the cutting edge of tech then you will want to install Lychee in a Docker container, http://www.servermom.org/install-docker-ubuntu-server/ The feminists out there will have noticed that the above guide was written by a female. Girl power at the cutting edge of life. There is a Docker image that is recommended by the creators of Lychee available here, https://hub.docker.com/r/kdelfour/lychee-docker/ Here are a few comments by users of Lychee, https://www.g2crowd.com/products/lychee/reviews Lychee sounds like it may be a neat fit for me.

There is a package in the AUR, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/copy-agent/ It is touted to work on most linux os's. I have just installed so will give an update soon. The no limit on file size is a great feature.

On the face of it it looks like a great way for folks to share files whether they are in a team or not.

Microsoft Azure had one location go down HARD . To me the decision of whether or not to go to the cloud is simple - No, not for anything I would need on a daily basis. So I would be open to cloud storage as an offsite data backup but only if the contract called for monetary penalties if the service provider lost the data.

Got the following in their April 2012 email newsletter today from SpiderOak: Any thoughts on SpiderOak? It's available for Windows, Mac and Linux; iOS and I believe Android as well. Are they safer than others? Is their encryption safe? Sounds like it's end to end encryption and no one sees your stuff. Think it's a legit claim? Think it can beat out Dropbox?
