AmiCloud beta for AmigaOS 4 is starting soon

some info about it can be found on Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/amigacloud

During the beta I plan to offer only a limited number of users per platform Access.

The idea is to concentrate on testing on different configurations and to be able to respond to user requests..

Eveyone participating in beta will become the double amount of Basic storage size after beta.

So in case we start with 1GB Basic storage / betatester get 2GB

in case we start with 2GB Basic / testers get 4GB

In case we raise the Basic size at any Point (likely every year by factor 1.5) beta testers get the double size.

During beta it will be 1GB.
You can backup files, sync Computers running amicloud and share documents via public URL's you can send to friends or embedd on Websites.

....
there is no Need to apply to the beta via email.
It will work on a first Comes first base.

Stay tuned.. we are running a final inhouse test.

www.amicloud.de points still to a placeholder... a real website is coming next year : )

It is available from the indieGO!-Appstore, later it will be available from a website as download as well.. but for activation you will need a indieGO!-ID and to "buy" it at least in the store.

5 €-dollars ; )

Important note:
Please read the readme. Especially if you wan't to close the log-window
Please report any bug asap. For now I will grant only a limited number of users access. As soon the limit has been reached it will not be available anymore from the store until end of beta.

Every lucky person being part of beta users will get a bonus after it. Double space than non beta users.

We have tested it (it is beta3 already) and with luck it will just work as it should.

Because some people struggle to understand the App Store here is a short how to buy it : )

Important to understand is that the downloads are not downloaded inside the App Store client but in an extra app called DLM (download manager)
This app "should" start after logIN. If it doesn't start, than run the dlm app manually.

When you click "download" inside the App Store client, it will change to "downloading". Than check the DLM. Your downloads will be added to the queue.

During download you can click inside the App Store on close and check other apps.

If you close the App Store it will ask if the DLM should stay open or if it should be closed as well.

In case you would like to report problems with AmiCloud please consider using this forum:

Last day where you can get AmiCloud for 5€... : )

OSX Version should be ready tomorrow as well.

An easy and fast way to share pictures on forums
and overall it works well on OS4.

Thank you for this cheap offer !

@phoenixkonsole

i use it very often.
It is an easy way to share my files with other developer

Thank you guys : )
Fabio is optimizing the client a bit so we can release a first update tomorrow late evening.
This version will also show the amicloud banner made by tommysammy.
Also the OS X version will be available which is important for me : )

About the price... I thought to offer bundles like
Bundle 1= Windows, OS X, AmigaOS 4 Versions for 15€
Bundle 2= os4, aros, morphos Versions = 15€

So basically it costs 5€/Client if someone chooses a bundle.

In January we will start with additional functions and pro accounts
On the todo list:
Converting movies/images by the cloud
Virus scan (choose files which shall be uploaded temporary for scanning)
VM pool (run Aros, aeros, Linux, reactos on your workbench)
.....

@phoenixkonsole

"Fabio is optimizing the client a bit so we can release a first update tomorrow late evening."

What about the 2 suggestions that i posted on your support forum ?

A drawer.info and the sharing thing?
About the sharing.
Normaly the URL is copied to the clipboard when you click on share.
You don't need to open the list again and click on "get link".

Can you please try it. For me it works..

Ahh I see..
About polling:
There is a button on the top right which looks like a "play"-button of a DVD-player. You can click it to pause amicloud. The button will change to a "pause"-button. You can resume with another click on it.

I will write a guide as soon the new client is ready so the pictures match the final design.

At the end we will add a external tool written in c which will tell amicloud to to do a sync only when the content of the folder gets changed.

For now you can use the pause/resume button to do it manually.
But maybe adding a variable setting doesn't hurt.

This is a thing for the next client... : )

@phoenixkonsole

Yes about polling and too sharing link.
And you are right, sharing link works as you describe it. Sorry ;)

Hi,

a new amicloud client for AmigaOS4 is available now in the indieGO!-Appstore.

Changelog:
::: CHANGELOG (Beta 03b) :::
[ AmiCloud Client ]
- Added AmiCloud banner

[ AmiCloud manager ]
- Enhanced the way the debug output is delivered and activated, now you can configure
the debug output editing the files:
- appdata/debug_acm.txt
- appdata/debug_amicloud.txt
These files are plain text files with lot of comments and descriptions to explain
each available options.
- Taken into account the server answer time to compesate timing errors and avoiding
unecessary synchronizations. These problems was noticed on very slow Internet
connections and/or when Internet bandwidth was used by other applications.
- Ignored (from synchornization) files starting with a dot (.) to avoid unwanted
synchronization of hidden/system files. This was mainly needed for Linux and MacOSX
host systems.

---i have added the drawer and icons from Tommysammy to the AmigaOS4 versions.

All version use now the "banner" made by Tommysammy.

Price is now 1000indieCoins aka 10€ and the storage is now 2GB during beta period.. later even larger and every beta tester will get always twice the storage of "normal" users which buy it after beta period.

EDIT:
So far only the new OS4 version has been uploaded.. the others will follow but as usually something came in between.. Maybe i can update MorphOS and AROS version later.. the others tomorrow.

@phoenixkonsole

Euh... Thank you but how to download a still owned program in your AppStore ?

Thx

Just download it again : )
Update function is not yet implemented in the client.
If you "download" it again you will always get the latest version

I still tried.

"Downloaded" try to open me a URL "http://downloads" instead of my local drawer
"Install/Uninstall" doesn't work

@phoenixkonsole

It looks better now, but is not better to use libcurl, instead of a web browser?

To open a drawer on amiga os, you can use wbrun "downloads" from a shell.

@LiveForIt / zzd10h
Hi,
the "install button" is just a place-holder... the App Store is still in "beta3" from march 2015... it will now be updated as next project (we are hopping from one thing to another like electrified bunnies : ) )

We add it definitely to the next steps.

With the existing App Store client you must think around corners ; )
So if you click on download -> it will be added to a second program running in the background called "Download-manager"
Check the Workbench, you will find a small iconified symbol.
Double-click to enlarge it.

There are all downloads added to a queue.
AmiCloud is quite small so it disappears really fast so the list may be empty.

Whatever... for now you need to go to the indieGO drawer on your hard drive and open the "download" sub folder... there you will find amicloud.

Next version will have those things fixed... We decided to work on AmiCloud with 100% and after this on the App Store again.

Things will be good at the end : ) ... it takes just a while

@phoenixkonsole

"There are all downloads added to a queue. "

Problem is that I can't even start the download from the AppStore => nothing in DLM queue.

Where do I have to click in the capture that I linked earlier ?

In my Downloads drawer, I only have previous AmiCloud version (1444311828_AmiCloud - Beta 03 -(RequesterOFF) AmigaOS4.7z)

thx
