February 13, 201412 yr Has anyone found a way to put an Egnyte sync onto unRAID? At work, we're thinking of moving to Egnyte. ...But they don't seem to have a linux plugin. Does anyone have feedback or experience on Egnyte, with or without unRAID?
February 17, 201412 yr Author I'm waiting for 6 to get out of beta...too much corporate data would be at risk.
March 7, 201412 yr why weight? just setup a Linux distro with ownCloud and you are done. all it seams egnyte is a diversified cloud system. @ $8 to $15+ per person if you are hosting your own DC anyway it might be a waist of time and money. now if you are moving to cloud and eliminating hosting your own DC than it might be worth of checking out. IMHO
March 8, 201412 yr Author I'm trying to solve a myriad of small problems. The data at rest needs to be encrypted...whether its in the cloud or self hosted, and on the PCs. ( sort of Truecrypt and with syncing to the corporate server and other users) Data needs to be mirrored/synced locally to individual PCs and synced when back online. (many candidates.) Enterprise level permissions at the folder (ideally at the file) level...so that some users see the allowed things, and what they see may vary by 'department' or by 'project' or by 'onsite vs. offsite', etc. This needs to be possible at all levels, not just the top folder level. (Egnyte and the enterprise version of BOX) 'guests' and 'occasional business partners' need access to some data, but not all, and when the project is over, the permissions need to be removed AND IDEALLY THE DATA--if Transferred to local drives--NEEDS TO BE WIPED. (If wishes were horses...) An invisible VPN like mechanism that can allow authorized folks to get to the data/server, but without users actually having to figure out a VPN tool. (Dropbox sync essentially does this. WD makes a hard drive 'personal cloud' that sort of does this...) A single data repository for the company--So that people don't have to juggle multiple internal data stores and cloud services...everything looks like a 'Q:/' drive...or some such interface thing... Access 'Q:' and drill down through the shares/folders as allowed by your permissions. The same people, while offsite, might or might not have 'offsite permissions' to some data that they could see if they were internal... (it doesn't have to be a 'drive letter', a la Windows...a Dropbox like folder integration into the WindowsExplorer or Mac Finder is better. Its really just the simplicity of a single place to look for data, without worrying about the VPN and how it works.) All data on any user PC's stored in the 'dropboxen' folder mechanism gets synced to the corporate server-no matter who are invited to access it. (This ensures ALL data is backed up automatically, AND ensures well meaning employees aren't creating their own dropboxen groups among themselves, but which aren't backed up to the corporate server. (icky privacy issues...but its a legal problem, and the backup mechanism will be revealed to all employees.)) Each of these is doable with existing softwares, but I'm looking for something that does most of this stuff in one end-user friendly package. To me that's worth 8-15/month/user for that set of capabilities. The savings in help desk staff would cover it.
