Erin is correct, Simon Fraser did go with Pydio as a user-facing loading dock
to our Islandora-based research data repository but we are now (well, as soon
as we can get some developer resources) replacing that with OwnCloud since
campus IT has launched a university-wide service based on it.
Hi Krista,
You might want to check out OwnCloud. It offers a viable Dropbox alternative
that you can host locally, with sync clients for all major operating systems
(even Blackberry cough).
