Hello all,
I'm currently developing a new backend for the external filestorage app,
namely support for (the former one-click hoster, now "secure data
logistics" provider) RapidShare.com - to be more exact, as per now it is
already in the testing stage.
The new filestorage backend supports the usual file and directory
management - list, create, edit, delete, ... you name it. In addition,
any file operations (for example, modifying a file) are done directly on
the RapidShare server without creating any temporary files on the
ownCloud server. This was the major reason for selecting RapidShare as
storage provider, because they allow low-level access to their files.
That's a huge difference to the other backends currently implemented,
because all of them first create a full temporary copy of the file,
which is a waste of disk space, bandwidth and time, especially for big
files.
Of course, the backend still has some rough edges, which is the reason
I'd like to invite everyone to test it - I'd be especially glad for any
RapidPro users, because they are not only able to use low-level file
uploads, but also low-level downloads, which may have a difference
performance-wise.
Unfortunately, I'm new to Git(Hub) and ownCloud development, so I don't
know the habits. How should I proceed to give others access to the code,
and what has to be done to have the classes integrated into the main
branch later when it's finished?
Cheers,
Philipp
