The new (1.2) release of DNNGlobalStorage, in addition to Amazon S3 now adds Dropbox support. Imagine all you can do!
You can work with your documents directly on your desktop or mobile device, and Drobox will automatically synchronize them with your web site, where you can e.g. have these files available for downloading.


DNNGlobalStorage expands your DotNetNuke 6 storage options beyond your Web Server, enabling a 100% integrated way to have your files wherever you want. For example: Amazon S3.
In next releases will be added support for Rackspace CoudFiles, Windows Azure, Google Storage, an FTP location, etc.

Major highlights

• Easy to integrate into your DotNetNuke 6+ Installation.
• Allows core and 3rd party modules to utilize externally-persisted files (on Amazon S3, Dropbox, etc.) without any modification.
• You can connect your site to different sources of files, even of the same kind. E.g. you can have many different Amazon S3 (each one to different buckets) or Dropbox connections (each one to different Dropbox accounts).
• If it is needed or desired, it allows you to connect to a data source in 'read only' mode.
• You have the option to generate secured and time limited Amazon S3 URLs (this is the default setup) – anonymous access to your S3 bucket is blocked –, or you can also configure it to generate anonymous S3 URLs.
• For Amazon S3, you can make the files "secured" by default (anonymous access to your resources is not granted).
• Behind the scenes DNNGlobalStorage is doing things impossible to do manually linking to S3 or Dropbox files. I.e. the files do not have to be set for anonymous access, and DNNGlobalStorage is generating secure links for them.
• The 'time to live' for the secured Amazon S3 URLs generated by the application is customizable.
• You can connect your web site with Dropbox files without explicitly sharing Dropbox files or folders.
• You can also configure the Amazon S3 URLs to be standard (not secured).
• The files being handled by the system, which are residing in an Amazon S3 bucket, can be configured to use "Reduced Redundancy Storage"
• By means of the Dropbox integration, you can implement a simple, secure and versioned documents library, where you in addition can update the documents straight from your desktop or mobile device.
• It integrates with the DNN 6+ Instrumentation (Log4Net) feature, for easy logging and troubleshooting.
