Hey guys,
I'll trow in my my extra 5 cents. We do use NAS for primary storage, and VJ,
OVJ and Topspin are perfectly happy. And the TrueNAS has been very stable
and easy to manage.
But for distribution of files I have FTP server, for old school. And working
on rolling out self-hosted cloud. Which gives web browser download and desktop
app. In which, I tried NectCloud and FileCloud. After some testing - FileCloud
is easier to configure, but have to pay annual licensing. Having said - their
install and manage guides and supportnis really good.
Cheers
Dmitry

Subject: Re: [AMMRL] Data sharing
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 locationin 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.

For what it's worth, I set up my data directory in a OneDrive folder before,
however experiments would randomly stop. I do not recall the errors, it was
an early version of Topspin 4, but I just found it more robust to save data
locally and then transfer to the OneDrive location upon completion.
Just my 2 cents
