Private Cloud System
Thinking of building my own cloud storage solution.
For a cloud storage system, usually there are two kinds of clients:
1. Complete sync. All data are seamlessly synced between the server and client.
2. Sync on demand. Only files/data to be used are downloaded and updated for the user. This usually happens on mobile devices where the storage size is small.
For a server, it would be good if there are some features in it:
1. revision history. You can trace back the data.
2. version control. This is common for multiple users. A problem occurs when two users check in the same file with their own modification. The system should be able to identify the check-out time.
Some people have posted their solutions:
