Hi all,

We're sharing a lot of stuff here on the reflector. Quite often and 
since some years, dropbox is used to do the job.
Now there are a few reasons why one can decide to leave dropbox and find 
alternatives.
Owncloud is a popular program which runs a private server (at home!) 
offering space as high as the storage mdeium connected., e.g. a HDD.
I was searching for a program running on the Raspberry Pi because it's 
power consumption is just 2...3 watts and it's Linux based (i also want 
to leave windows step by step!).
I successfully installed SEAFILE now. The storage is a 32 GB USB stick 
connected to the Raspi.
Now i'm running this server 24/7. So far it is connected by WLAN but it 
should be better to connect it by a LAN cable for higher speed (Videos!).
The links provided are in https. Therefore i had to build my own 
security certificate (using a tool named openssl). Of course this 
certificate is not registered anywhere, thus your web browser will say 
it is not secure. Anyway it is. It's just homemade :-)

What i'm missing on that seafile software is the possibility to host a 
website, e.g. for a grabber :-( This function is available in dropbox. 
I'm still searching an easy solution. But with some more effort it can 
be done on the Raspi as well, i bet...

Just for your information, regarding the message of a security problem 
of the below link...

73, Stefan
