Re: [Tiki-devel] Using Tiki with external cloud storage for file gallery

I also really like the idea!

The first step might be to enable tiki to handle files uploaded from a shared directory. Three was talk of this. So files might be uploaded via SMB or something like that.

After Tiki can handle new files, updated files, deleted files, moved files, files changing while tiki is offline, etc. It is probably easier at that point to think about specific integrations that use a filesystem for storing files.
