Use STORA like DROPBOX?

I have now my Stora since about one year and finally it is working fine most of the time (except some hickups sometimes;))

I have as well an account at Dropbox. I have a dropbox folder at my computer and save something in this folder and my dropbox folder on my other computers will be syncronized automaticly. As this service is limited to 2 GByte I tought about doing the same with my Stora:).


I used some Programs like SyncToy but this is not so easy as dropbox.


Has anybody got an idea? I would for example like to synchronize my documents folder on my computer with my documents at the Stora automatically.


Thx for any ideas or solutions

I could easily write you a Windows program that does this given an hour.

As such, I have to believe that there are freeware things available that would do the same and be more extensive in capability.

why not just use the stora as your working documents directory? that way its accessable from pretty much anywhere.

That's funny, my pc has a "MySync" folder, and whenever I drop files into it, they pop-up on my test Stora's "MySync" folder. Then I get home and the file is on that pc too!!!

Weird! 😉

Re: Use STORA like DROPBOX?

Dear Roby,

this sound like the solution I was looking for:o.

But how did you set up such a system. I can´t find a MySync folder and would not know how to synchronize it.

Which operating System do you use?
How did you set it up that it will syncronize via ftp/internet?
Are you using a special program and if yes which one?

Thx for your help

If you were not aware, I work for Axentra. I was simply teasing that the feature you ask for, is currently in development. 😄

Hi Robby,

as I have my Stora now for one year it was nearly impossible not to find this forum nor you:D! So I am fully aware that you are working for Axentra!

I would be very grateful if you could implement this funcionallity into the stora as these programs (like dropbox) are not very cheap for what they are ($20 for 100 GByte per month).

Will this be part of the next update and when can we expect it?

Looking forward to hear from you!

We don't have any timelines yet, it's still under planning/development. But it should become available at some point 🙂

Nice post, unfortunately that's not going to be useful for most of our products target audience(ssh keys, no recycle bin, etc).

MySync is in it's final testing phases and will be available as a Premium Service in the next update(2.5.3)
