Hi Spinlanders
All my systems are Linux platforms and I will therefore confine to that
paradigm in the following. I have tested the open source client 'onedrive'
and actually in the brink of deploying it facility wide. It seems to work
well and scales ok. Our university has provided Enterprise level Azure cloud
storage for the community and so I am actually using SharePoint rather than
OneDrive as the backend for storage. SharePoint is supposed to be truly
collaborative and it has fine grained control as far as file/directory
permissions and such. It fits well with the model that a manager of a
facility or lab organizes the data of lot of users in one place and maintains
it with good administrative oversight. OneDrive, on the other hand, is
supposed to be technically for Cloud storage per person and that person can
then share files/directories to anyone on demand. This is the gist from
Microsoft's own description of the two methods, btw.
Both IconNMR and Topspin are oblivious to where the physical location of
the storage is and they pretty smoothly write data to the remote location
in the following way. It is a two step process. First, your data is
written to local storage in your computer, say a dedicated partition such
as '/opt/NMRData' or similar. Then the client program like 'onedrive'
automatically synchronizes the newly written data to the cloud.
The frequency at which this 'sync' operation has to happen, which directory
you want to sync, etc. are all finely controllable at the NMR computer
end.
