@JaredBusch said in NextCloud video/file sharing: restrict access?:

That will, of course, not stop the resharing issue. But that is not what you were asking.

I was trying to keep him on goal, rather than stuck in the weeds 🙂

Yes, I have. It was talked about on Security Now a few years ago.

It allows TNO (Trust No One) on cloud storage . You control the keys for encryption. of course, if you don't have the keys, the data is useless.

I keep my KeepassX database in DropBox, but my actual key file is not there.

I've not used a Keyfile,.. only a 'decently long complex' password.

I do both just because I'm paranoid. My password is only 15 characters, but with the key file I think it helps. That way even if someone gets my database they can hammer the database with passwords all they want but it won't matter.

I wouldn't say "blazing", but it got alot faster since I moved away from Bell 😛 Right now I am on a 100/10 connection.

What's your take on this java utility?

If I recall previous discussions, you're completely fine with server side Java things, it's client side that are horrible.

Considering this is an admin tool, is this good or bad that it requires Java?

Admin Tool = Client Side

So for me, I think it's a bit of crap there. As an admin tool I'd find it one step better than if it was for "generic" users. But in this role, it is still for an end user, just a power user (me.) And I think that any use of client side Java is rather bad. Not the end of the world, but not good. This isn't a new utility, so we can excuse the choice more than we could with a new one. But I'm certainly not planning to deploy it. There has to be better options.

I feel exactly the same way. Was mainly wondering if you did too - and well, you do 😉

LTO is $8/TB. That would mean a 4TB drive with far better than RDX speed or reliability would need to be $32 for normal sizes and $64 for the biggest on the market. Tape looks to be like 1/10th the cost of drives.

How much does the actual drive cost?

Has this been sufficiently answered at this point? Or should we provide more info?

I have not seen Google's Photo system in a good many years.

Isn't Googles Photo Picasa?

yeah, does this somehow make a difference?

I agree that the term "unlimited" is often abused though. I don't know if it's the same in the US, but we had a big problem over here with ISPs offering "unlimited" internet usage that was actually capped. I think the term was "Unlimited - subject to fair usage policy" where fair usage was an arbitrary figure set by the ISP.

Is that not protected by the Trades Description Act?

Pretty much they were just overpriced before. They just adjusted here. It is a good price but nothing amazing.

@JaredBusch if you go into the config file fixing the LAN IP is trivial. Easiest config file ever.

I agree with what he said. I've never heard of it. I've already got Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and that's just installed. I also have Box, Amazon and a couple others. I'm set. Lol

I agree; I have Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and another I can't remember, in the office I have Onedrive and another Dropbox... I also carry 6 different USB drives - although three of them were to replace the other three, and I've since plan to reduce even more with a multi-boot USB.

The primary feature of Tresorit is client-side encryption. A nice feature, but not too big of a deal for SMB customers, I don't think.

https://tresorit.com/

Although the REALLY BIG feature is that all data is stored only in the EU, not in the US. That's a big feature that I am surprised that they don't advertise more clearly.

Uhm - yea,.. that would be a big issue to disclose.. the US market could easily be cut off if someone barked loud enough. While it was a "SPICEWORKS" promo.. think I too will be passing.

No I think it is meant as a huge plus. More protection for companies.

Great. I am looking forward to some serious feedback on it. It is a really exciting project.

First five users are 1TB per user. Then with the sixth user it goes unlimited.

That's how they make the money. Each user needs an account. So the realistic capacity of usage is relatively limited.

Azure has its own object storage mechanism (similar to Swift in OpenStack or S3 in Amazon AWS) so to allow you to learn or test behavior they have an emulator so that you can mimic that storage locally.

Cool. How does this compare to Owncloud?

I personally favor Seafile over Owncloud. Although I have not spent a lot of time with either.
