We need your help with something...again

[Rich O Brien]

So, we have delayed the release of v3 of the PluginStore because of a very valid reason....

...cloud storage.

Currently in alpha/beta, we can't agree , but this is gonna be a pretty mammoth feature going forward.

This is DropBox for plugins. But not just for plugins. We plan to include other features down the line like material libraries, component libraries, styles libraries.

All synced between your devices.

It is working right now and it is pretty insane to see something like this for the community that really allows to press install once and all devices get sorted

To the help....

I need two more seasoned testers/regulars to let me know if you have time to try something slightly experimental. One tester needs to be Mac.

[Rich O Brien]

I kinda left out a piece of info....

...this is not pigging backing on Dropbox but it is a dedicated cloud storage solution.

It is not just limited to plugins but whatever else you need it for.

Expected amount of time needed for testing? If less than a few hours, feel free to contact me. Not sure if you would want me though.. things always go wrong if I test something...

[Rich O Brien]

Unfortunately it's more than a few hrs and we had some requests via PM we are dealing with

I am not sure I understand what the purpose of this is.

[JClements]

I can help if you need it.

[jiminy-billy-bob]

Owncloud, is it?

(Sorry, don't have time to help test)

[JQL]

I have more than a few hours if they're not in the same day... I can also test it on Vista, Windows 7 and MAC. I'm available more at night in Europe daytime in USA...

Just a quick question.
How will I be able to access my plugins if I'm not online all the time?

[Box]

These types of cloud based folders sync to a local folder so you don't need to be online to access your plugins.

@pbacot

If ur unsure it is best you steer clear at this early stage

@jbb

Yep, but with a variant on the desktop client that makes the install process more streamlined.

You got any issues with that?

@jql

Thanks. We're in same time zone as you so that fits.

@Pixero
As box says. It is exactly the sé as Dropbox. Local storage synced to server when online.

@box
How is it going for you?

[Rich O Brien]

@johnclements

We will get you sorted. Thanks.

Hope ur doing well

[Box]

Rich I've found nothing to alter my previous comment of Bloody Brilliant.

[pbacot]

I guess if I had more than one computer, it would make sense.
