Oxygen Cloud used to offer an O: drive, but I heard it caused them a lot of 
problems. They switched to a Dropbox-style "cloud folder"  with their 
latest/current version.

We now use OneDrive for Business with a heavily customized Web portal. It's 
quite stable and intuitive, but it has some drawbacks. Only 5000 items in a 
Shared library. No special characters. 256 character filename limit. I can see 
an admin dashboard, but I can't make any changes to library membership or even 
see a list. If I become an admin, I get access to EVERYTHING but that makes it 
nigh impossible to navigate. I was a fan of the Dropbox Enterprise offerings, 
but the brass decided on ODfB.

Thanks,
Vaughn

There are two big requirements I have for this:



1. Granular permissions. I know DropBox has made some progress with that, but I 
really want to be able to assign permissions similar to what I can do on a 
normal file server.

2. Drive letter access. I know this seems like a small thing, but users have 
trouble understanding anything other than "The shared folders are the P: 
drive". "The shared folders are on the folder called 'Dropbox' in your profile" 
is difficult for some (and it causes problems with shortcuts).



I'd be willing to sacrifice some of the efficient syncing that Dropbox offers 
for those two features.

Subject: [NTSysADM] EFS products

I know I sent an email out about this previously some time ago and most people 
completely ignored me, so if I didn't get the message that time I apologize for 
trying again.

I'm doing a study on EFS (enterprise file syncing products) and I'd be 
interested to know what products people use/prefer/hate/etc. I'd also be 
interested to hear what features the list considers necessary to such products, 
and also maybe whether those you use have or don't have said important features.

Not looking for a load of information - basic stuff will suffice. Personally, I 
use DropBox, and obviously price:storage ratio is the most obvious thing to 
consider - just thought I'd throw it out (again!) and see if anyone is willing 
to share a few bits of info to help me out.

TIA,
