Future Request: Public directory in Files
Hi,
Under Files there is a Homedir. I would be nice if there was also a so called 'Publicdir'. Putting files in this folder makes it accessible for everyone. You would than get, example: www.runbox.com/user/public/ In this way people could share specific files in an easy way with others, such as home-pictures etc. It would be a very nice future of runbox. Are there plans to implement such a future? Kind Regards, xen |

Probably not the best time to ask them when they're getting pummelled over bandwidth limitations...
I remember hearing that they didn't have any plans for public access when they released the file area though. |

As it's been said that Files will in the future count towards the bandwidth, I'm not sure this is such a good idea. Just imagine someone on dial up downloading a file you'd uploaded and then they get disconnected and have to start over again... Depending how big that file is, that could be quite a big chunk of your bandwidth gone already.
Unless it can be closely monitored, I'd prefer to get my own webspace and let people download from there if I have files to share. |
