I love Dropbox and use it on all my devices. However, I really wish they would implement permissions on shared folders. It's one of the two most requested features that users want, but they still won't implement it [https://www.dropbox.com/votebox https://www.dropbox.com/votebox].
As soon as someone comes along that has integrates as seamlessly on my Windows PC, Linux PC and Android phone AND offers permissions on shared folders I will jump ship.
I don't know why, but it actually makes me cross that they aren't listening to their user-base.
- heikkitoivonen 15y agoI know at least Egnyte (https://www.egnyte.com/ https://www.egnyte.com/) offers folder permissions, and has clients on Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone and iPad. The Linux client is available on some NAS devices and also as a VMWare appliance. Disclaimer: I work for Egnyte.
- durzagott 15y agoThanks, I'll look into it. Although, am I right in assuming that you don't offer a Linux desktop client?
- heikkitoivonen 15y agoRight, no Linux desktop client at the moment. I don't think it would be especially difficult to make one, but we'd need enough demand to make the investment. But having said that, we do provide WebDAV API. Every modern OS I know of, including Linux, can mount a file system over WebDAV. It is not very efficient, and doesn't have all the features you would get with a client, but at least you have access to your files. Some people actually prefer to use only WebDAV, because that way as soon as you cut network connectivity the files are not accessible (security feature).
