Looks neat! This sounds very similar to the concept of unhosted.org[1], where the user provides their own data storage location. Being based in Europe, have you had any interaction with the unhosted team or their remoteStorage.js[2] library? It seems like they are trying to integrate in Dropbox/GoogleDrive into that library, too.
Also, you mention encryption in the Example Applications section. I've been working on a similar concept of having a client-side javascript library that creates an encrypted filesystem on Dropbox/Google Drive, called Bring Your Own Filesystem[3]. The most interesting thing with the system is that these storage locations allow for public files, which means you can set up end-to-end encrypted communication between two Dropbox accounts[4]. I'd love to learn more about your implementation of the encryption layer and how you plan to develop that further. What plans do you have for privacy/encryption?

- gizmo686 12y agoI've been using a similar system on my own machines, by combining Dropbox with a userspace encrypted filesystem (encfs).
- mrpdaemon 12y agoIn case you use an Android device, I wrote an app to use encfs on Dropbox/GoogleDrive: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mrpdaemon.android.encdroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mrpdaemon....
- cloudrail 12y agoSounds super interesting. We don't plan to integrate any encryption into the SDK. That's a task for forward thinking developers as you ;) Just take our solution for the cloud storage integration and add your security layer behind it. I bet that would be an awesome product and we'd love to feature it on our website if you like.
