Introduction

Pydio is open source software that turns instantly any server (on premise, NAS, cloud IaaS or PaaS) into a "Dropbox" like file sharing platform for your company. It is an alternative to SaaS Boxes and Drives, with more control, safety and privacy, and favorable total cost of ownership. Pydio is designed to provide enterprise grade security and control. Unbelievably easy to install for System Administrators, Pydio connects instantly to your existing employee directories.

Notes:

• Seeing "AjaXplorer" on the Drupal menu after installed SFUdora is the expected behaviour -- "AjaXplorer" was what Pydio was called earlier in its development when SFU first undertook this work, and that name string is probably hardcoded in there (though Drupal allows you to override this easily in the interface when you're customizing your menus). You should also now see some options under the Islandora settings page in Drupal to configure SFUdora-specific functionality, such as the URL to AjaXplorer/Pydio on that server. If you've installed Pydio through the deb or rpm packages provided, this should be http://yourIslandoraSite/pydio by default.
• The Pydio plugin needs to go in /usr/share/pydio/plugins, where you should see several other directories matching the "action.xyz" naming convention. You should then be able to enable in the Pydio admin interface (you may need to clear the plugin cache first to get it to show up). You can then go about potentially configuring Pydio and Drupal to use the same single-sign-on authentication method to achieve the same level of simple integration as I demonstrated in the video.
• The installers available from http://researchdata.sfu.ca/node/2 are hard-coded to SFU URLs, but you can also rebuild the OSX and Windows from my source (https://github.com/axfelix/datasync; the Linux version is just a shell script and doesn't need to be "built") after changing the SFU-specific language if you like. I used NSIS on Windows and Platypus on OSX, if you want to go that route.
