I've been using Zipline for a while and love it. However I've been hearing about a version 4 for a while and haven't seen any updates about that in a long time. Hopefully this video brings some much needed interest to Zipline.
I love the content! I have a question though. Would this be good for large files? Reason being, I do video editing for my job and my projects are somewhere between 500gigs to 1TB, with my current one being 1.25TB. Me and my client are both constantly trying to figure out the best way to transfer these large raw video files. We currently use google drive but there's some downsides and we always have issues. I already own a domain and it'd be easy to just use a sub-domain to direct to zipline. I would love to have the ability to FTP into zipline (my client to ftp in) so they can just easily drag-and-drop the whole video project and let it sit there. How does zipline handle disrupted downloads? will it be able to resume after connection dropped? Reason why I ask is because these are sometimes big video files (100's of gigs) and it'd be nice to not have to have them re-upload a file. Any thoughts on a solution that could work for me would be great!
I've only tried transfering files that are a few gigs, but that worked pretty seemlessly. And, on your end, you'd easily be able to jump in and grab the file from FTP. I'm not sure about connection interruptions, though. You might want to either try it for yourself just to see, or reach out to the developer via Github and see what their thoughts are.
looks nice for some non-critical school/company deployment, I wonder how's the uploads structure and permissions - making it any possible to be simultaneously useable via SMB share?
You probably could. I don't think the dashboard would actively look for or show new files uploaded to the uploads folder, but you can easily login to your server and see the files you've uploaded via the dashboard in the uploads folder
This is awesome, thanks for putting in the time on this one! I've had troubles getting nextcloud to work with showing my shares properly, do you think this could be a replacement for that?
@@DBTechYT sorry, just meaning would I be able to mount my data shares on zip line and have those be counted as part of my files (or I guess I'm just limited to uploading). Looking for a remote solution to uploading music or video files and easily moving them to my shares
I gotcha. Someone else asked something sort of similar last night. You might be able to map some volumes on your server that both apps use to get them to work together indirectly.
I may have missed this on here, but does this support requesting uploads from non-users? For example, in something like Dropbox, you can send a link to someone so they can drop their file into your Dropbox. Is that possible with Zipline?
If this had the ability to connect to other file systems like NextCloud it would be even better. Sometimes you just need the file interface and not a platform that can run other apps.
I've tried almost yearly for the past several years to use/like NextCloud and just can't. I'm not alone. Lots of people don't like it. This is a great app that doesn't work with NextCloud but does work with other apps. But you might be able to map some volumes on your server that both apps use to get them to work together indirectly.
