AppSuite:OX Drive
IN PRODUCTION: OX Drive for native Clients
Description
OX Drive provides file and folder synchronization across devices. It does this in the simple way possible for the end user and is fully optimized for each device type.
Open-Xchange wants to enable end customers to synchronize data. In OX App Suite, Open-Xchange provides a cloud storage called OX Drive. OX Drive accesses storage made available by the provider but can also integrate external storage (e.g. DropBox, Amazone Cloud Drive or Google Drive, …). End customers should be able to synchronize Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS devices.
