We are looking to pilot a cloud file sharing solution comparison test and I'm wondering if anyone can help me with their experience and what success criteria should we use ie. how do we know this is a success or not?

Some ideas: Preview capability, mobile functionality, security, synchronization, versioning, collaboration.  What else am I missing?

Hi All,
Client #1
client has NAS with map drive & o365 Onedrive business.

I want to be mapped in the office and cloud(onedrive) on the go.
Set up cloudsyc(synology) with onedrive folder and it is working fine, but NO local fast sync

I mapped the synology shared folder to pc and sync the same shared folder with onedrive.
But when I did copy/paste to map drive then did not sync with onedrive
When I copy/paste to onedrive then synced OK, BUT wasofcourse musch smaller.

So when they want use in the office they will have very slow speed!

Any idea to set better and increase the local sync speed?

Client #2

Another client at the moment use dropbox with 20-25gb video files with local sync between pc’s
It is OK now,but eating our bandwidth with vmwault and they use a lot skype to communicate

I want to move them to NAS and cloudsync too .

Dropbox & cloudsyc-but ongoing cost VS Onedrive & cloudsyc NO cost as they have A3 O365 licenses

Thank you for advice in advance

Hi Experts,

I use Dropbox to Sync files between a number of coworkers PCs.

Yesterday I set up a new PC.

I thought it would be a good idea to copy the Dropbox folder from one of the other PCs to the new one.

That turned out to be a disaster.

After installing Dropbox on the new PC, the number of subfolders in the Dropbox folder doubled.
So I now have folders with names like:

D:\Dropbox\Dropbox\Travel (Selective Sync Conflict)

this folder has some of the files duplicated from this folder:

D:\Dropbox\Dropbox\Travel

My problem now is that I can delete this folder, D:\Dropbox\Dropbox\Travel (Selective Sync Conflict).

But minutes later it reappears, presumably because it is on one or more other PCs.

How can I delete the Selective Sync Conflict folders permanently?

Regards,
Leigh

Hi Experts,
I am looking for an Access file that was used about a month ago, however cant remember the name and since there were more recent files used, I cannot get to see them from under Access recent files list..
Is there any way I can get a list of all my Access files used in past month, along with date last opened?
Files can be either on the server or on local C drive.
Thanks in advance

I have been tasked with using Filezilla to move 4 text files from a static location every month.  I am new to Filezilla and wondering if there is a way to schedule Filezilla to complete the transfer unattended?  I will have a login and password that could be included in the script.  The Filezilla will reside on a client server, so the server is always on.

Is there any way to prevent users copying files from a mapped drive, when they're not domain joined?

Server 2012 R2 - Active Directory & File Share
Local devices - connect to shared folders from the server, using their AD accounts for authentication only. Local devices are NOT domain joined.

Hi Experts,
We have setup a server farm technology where file is on the local server and users are accessing the file thru the farm.
https://www.techopedia.com/definition/4202/server-farm
Now we are experiencing FE file corruption very frequent, not sure if this started immediately after the farm setup but this is now whats happening, and lately it can happens a couple of times a day.
See attached error that users are getting.
As soon I connect to pc and open the file, it asks if want repair, and I say yes, and then everything is fine.
I told users they must close access prior to logging off the farm, and they say this is what they do.
Last night I had only one user on, fixed it and in the morning, still only that user was on and problem happen again..
What can be done?
Thanks in advance.

i'm asked to implement and gathering requirement from our AD, FS, hybrid exchange to integrate with the new third party system of IDMS, PIM and DGM.

eg. work flow process
eg. record remote access from admin usage
eg. gathering ad, fs and email inventory record for auditing

However, i am very new and no much experience to their enterprise infra system comprises of 10,000 employees and require me to gather a lot of pro & con to integrate the new phrase IDMS (V4) to (V5), PIM (remote), DGM (Inventory) within a short period.

Can the 1-to-1 live chart or the experts exchange can provide me the help to complete this project or only troubleshooting.

Thanks.

Hello Experts,

I have a DELL server that I am going to mirror a couple of hard drives. It needs to become a file server.

My question is, is there a NAS software I could install on it and make it NAS server?

Software like FreeNAS or OpenFile. I will like the software to be free or otherwise, I will use a Linux server like CentOS 7 or Ubuntu.

If that is the case configuring Samba will be enough? Recommendation needed, please.

Thank you!

How to send large files for free?

I use WeTransfer but that limits files to 2 GB.

What other free options allow a large filesize?

HI Linux Experts

we have in our environment EMC clariion and VNX5300 both working as SAN and NAS  

we moved everything to VSAN even our file servers we are using right now virtual appliance like Nexenta Store ans EMC unity

till now we dont have any  issues with these virtual appliance but we have any machine which read data from our file system  one file system shared (( SMB for windows users and NFS for this machine and linux users ))

but this old machine can understand only NFS V2   when i try to mount a shared file system from Nexenta store or EMC unity it dose not work

so i tried to mount for test this file system on centos VM with this command

 # mount -t nfs -o vers=2 192.168.111:/sword /swordone/
mount.nfs: mount point /swordone is not a directory
 # mount -t nfs -o vers=2 192.168.8.147:/sword/cnc /swordone/
mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

so the issue look like NFS V2 not supported on these new virtual appliance or maybe cloud be another reason

so my question do you know any virtual appliance work as NAS 100 % can support NFSV2   something like freenas or anything that i can make test with to make sure the issue not related to NFS V2

any idea here ?

Sorry, I set up 2 machines - 1 that has onedrive and one that has onedrive for business installed.

I keep being told the only similarity / continuity between them is the first part of their name - onedrive.  They are entirely different animals?! the ODFB runs on sharepoint?  

Am I missing something?  They seem to have the same functionality.

I am most familiar with Dropbox.  So if you can put things into comparision with Dropbox, that would help me understand things better : )

Cross Forest Migration of File Server Resource manager 2012r2
I am planning to migrate FSRM server from domain A to domain B. The server has 18 folders each of those folders have different local security group and each group has domain A members associated with it.

Since I am going to migrate the server, How do I proceed and with what tools? The client I am doing the migration for want this migration without downtime since majority of the users are working from the file server online editing and changing stuff.

Would robocopy be a good option and if users keep changing everything all the time how do I sync changes?
If i want to take a different kind of migration way like not using ADMT or Robocopy but Disjoin fileserver from domain A and join it to domain B and add all users would that suffice?

How am I going to change all the mapped folders for all users who are migrated to the B domain ? any tool or is it possible to use GPO to detect and change all mapped folders?

Thanks

Application for enabling users to move files with paths and permissions.

I am managing a large traditional file store seen by users as a mapped drive.

This has grown huge and has been a dumping group for data for a decade. What I want to do is clean up the data and get a handle on security. To this end I have assigned a user from each department as controller of a root folder so the sales folder has someone in sales that is responsible the Finance folder has someone in finance responsible etc.

I have very good backups of this data and now want each of these users to go into their respective folders and delete / archive old data. The question is how do I have them archive the old data. The ideal way would be for the archive data to be moved to an identical path on a separate archive drive.

I will have to give the users permissions to the entire tree they are managing which is ok but I don't want them to simply drag and drop files / folders to a root Archive folder, I really want to keep the structure so the archived documents can be searched later (this will be very infrequently) Are there any programs I can use for this, a file commander type application that is friendly enough for select end users (these are slightly higher skill level users and could have some training)

Any suggestions would be great! This is a 2016 windows AD environment.

I've a problem with Files being locked the network and server are several years old and this has only just started to happen.

The file shows as "File Locked by network user", I've Win 10 Pro clients with 2008 R1 file server, the file is not shown as being locked on the server.  This particular .DOCX file was used by one user who has restarted but the lock remains.

Is there a tool to better show file locks other than Comp Man\Shared Folders\Open Files?

Thanks in advance.

Unable to access FTP server using local account created.  Ftp server is 2003 and not using IIS, but OpenSSH.
User seems to have all the permissions needed to access through WinSCP, but I keep getting the access denied message when attempting to connect.
I'm not sure whether or not I did not add this user somewhere with permissions, whereas I am not an avid FTP server administrator.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am currently in a trial with Citrix Sharefile... but find the pricing a bit too much for our company at the moment..   Love the features .. Large File send.. Encryption .. all integrated into Outlook.   In my email signature I have a link for people that need to send me files... etc..etc..     Does anyone know of any other companies that offer this type of service that might not be as expensive?

Cheers

Hello Experts,

At our business, we use both Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe Creative Cloud (CC).  Due to the nature of the work, we would like to permit the CC users to continue to save and  share work to the Adobe Cloud.  We would like to block saving and sharing to the Adobe Cloud for the Acrobat DC users because we want them to use MS OneDrive.

We can do this if we purchase the higher priced licensing but we are trying to avoid that.
The firewall is not an option because if off-site users do not log in using the VPN, the firewall rules are bypassed.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thank you,
Steph M

Dear expert

I would like to know how FTP works with file modification time.

When you get something from ftp the windows is showing the file is created by yesterday, not today when you received, I mean when you write something to the disk, OS should write the create time is today right? But it doesn't why is that?

I am looking for an FTP program that can download files, send files, then copy those files to local folders, delete files from local folders and then send an email notification out to users that the file has arrived etc..
I want all this to be triggered with one double click, after configuration.

I would like to modify this portion of an FTP script so that it does try to look at the LOCAL folder to compare files with the REMOTE folder - and then try to delete those files on the REMOTE FOLDER.
I simply want the script to download the files found in the REMOTE folder to the LOCAL folder, Delete the files in the Remote folder - but not to delete anything in the LOCAL folder..


:GetFTPFiles
    (echo open %ftpserver%
    echo user %username% %password%
    echo bin
    echo cd %remotedir%
    echo lcd "%localdir%"
    echo mget *.*
    echo quit
    ) | ftp -n -i
    exit /b

:ClearfTPFiles
    (echo open %ftpserver%
    echo user %username% %password%
    echo cd %remotedir%
    (for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d "%localdir%\*.*"') do @echo dele "%%~a")
    echo quit
    ) | ftp -n -i -d

We are looking for an alternative to SharePoint Foundation 2010 which is coming to end of life.
There is the possibility to move to Foundation 2013 (still free), but this also has only a few years of life left.

There are a confusing amount of possible alternatives out there and before I start sifting through them I thought I would ask the Experts what they thought.
We are happy to have either a cloud based or on premise solution and although what we have now is free we would be prepared to pay a little for something that has wow appeal.

We are a construction company and use SharePoint as a document store, photo gallery and very basic workflow (question/answer lists) for each of the 5 - 10 projects we are working on. What we like most is it is storage with meta data (who posted, who modified, when and various custom columns we have created) much more useful than just storing in folders as we did in the past. More document management than collaboration.

Our Intranet (only AD users are ever likely to to use it) needs are:

1. Storage for Word, Excel, PDF files with meta data we can add (Who, When, Where, Custom Columns etc), and batch upload/download.
2. Very simple Workflow. An uploaded or emailed document sits there until it has been actioned, after which it becomes easily identifiable as complete.
3. Photo Gallery - Single or multiple uploads, Albums, Thumbnail views, Auto Date stamping, Indexing.
4. Custom permissions on each site and within each site for …
