It would be sooooo good if anyone who really knows the differences could create a camparing List with pros and cons of the different possibilities of sharing files and folders. Each year I start to investigate again because either I can’t remember the precise differneces or I have the feeling that something could have changed.
I am definetly NOT the one to create a list but to motivate the real experts I just start it…and would love to edit this post and delete the following part again:
App “Group Folders”
- Pro:
*. Not tied to one single user account
*. ?! - Con:
*. No encryption
*. Problems with deletion
*. Many mor options to admin
Global Shares by Admin oder Ghost-Accont
- Pro:
*. No further app or options needed
*. Works fine if group members and admin aren’t changing - Con:
*. Something with quota seems bad?!
App “Circles”:
- Pro:
*. Didn’t get it - Con:
*. Didn’t get it…
Can’t we have an open OO Sheet, where all can enter Pros and Cons and that is always uptodate?
Actually it’s such an important topic and I think it was worth for the NC admins to organise a “fair” comparison Site in the Documentation.
