Seeing as OES2 SP1 has been out for a while with iFolder 3.7, it doesn't look too good that an open source version will be coming. I've asked many of my contacts inside Novell about this, and it has fallen on deaf ears. I was particularly eager for the Mac client, but without a 3.7 back-end, it's kinda worthless (Novell states that the 3.7 client is not supported against a 3.6 back-end, but it may work). Purchasing all of OES to get iFolder seems excessive. So while I love and swear by iFolder (warts and all), I think it's time to find a replacement and was wondering if anyone has found something?
Originally, I wanted something to host myself, as I fear storing sensitive data in the "cloud," but it seems a lot of the solutions have 256-bit AES encryption now and the storage on Amazon S3 is awfully cheap. I was particularly intrigued by JungleDisk (www.jungledisk.com). Has anyone used this or something like it to replace iFolder functionality? Can something like this FULLY replace iFolder? I need both individual folders and workgroup folders, so I need a solution for both. I also move between Windows, Mac, and Linux clients, so a cross platform client that can sync changes between all three is a must. If I host something internally, encryption isn't mandatory since I can tunnel it, but if I use the cloud, it is. I know this is way way off topic, but I figure I can't be the only one in this boat. I've not used Microsoft Groove at all, but I think that is out due to cross platform issues. What is everyone else doing? Thanks. Matt A sad iFolder user ----- Matt Weisberg Weisberg Consulting, Inc.
