Open issues/risks
- Not all online storage services categories can possibly be addressed in v1. What guiding principles to apply to make a choice ?
- Are there differences in different countries ? Some consumer storage provides more popular in some countries ?
- How to deal with offline mode ?
- Some providers rely on a synchronization model (Dropbox, Ubuntu one...) vs direct file access (FTP, network drive...). and recommend using a synchronization application - What technology for provider API implementation ? Can this be done through a web app exposing web intents ? Can the web app be local
Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
This Thunderbird feature provides a way to use online storage services to store large size email file attachments. With this feature, email file attachments are replaced by urls pointing to an online file storage server, where the files can be found.
This feature is meant to: - offer a way to easily share very large files through email - reduce ‘file too big’ bounce email situations - encourage file sharing over copying - save recipients inbox space and eliminate file duplication for multiple recipients - increase attachment sending and receiving speed
A tight and smooth integration with Thunderbird will be required to facilitate usage and adoption of this alternative way of sending a file via email. For example, Thunderbird could propose to use this feature to resend a ‘file-too-big’ bounced email or when sending a file known or likely to be too large for the recipients email domain. On a different idea, on-the-fly setup/signup could also be implemented to ease the first use of the feature.
Online storage services can be of different categories: - commercial services such as DropBox, YouSendIt, Box.net... - consumer document sharing services such as Google Docs or MS Skydrive, - enterprise document sharing resources such as MS SharePoint, network drives - or more traditional network storage resources such FTP folders, …
