[GRLUG] diy file sharing

[Benjamin Flanders]

Sparkle share looks like a great dropbox alternative, but I'm not
looking for syncing, but the web based file sharing which I like the
way drop box does it.

Your suggestion gave me another google start point and I found
http://owncloud.org/.  This looks like what I was looking for.  Thank
you for your help.


Share and Enjoy
Ben
