There is a "getting stronger" opinion and movement on web users having their own self-controlled, free and open source clouds where data belongs to the users, can be transferred easily and privacy is not an issue.

ownCloud is supporting this movement with a cool app which works as a:

• file manager/explorer with share option, WebDAV support, the ability to play music files
• calendar
• contacts manager
• and has planned features like image gallery, online text editor, online task manager, encryption, bookmarks, desktop sync client, Android&webOS apps and server-server sync.

It is built with PHP-MySQL (or SQLite) and is definitely a good option for users willing to move their data to the web + manage easily.

SFBrowser is an open source application, built with PHP and jQuery, for managing files online with an Ajaxed interface.

Besides listing files and folders, it can upload, delete, rename and preview them. Uploading can be accomplished via an Ajaxed or Flash-based uploader (queued multiple uploads, progress bar, canceling, selection filtering, size filtering).

The functionality can be extended with plugins. There are few ready-to-use ones like filetree and image-resize.

For a faster usage, there is a context menu and support for keyboard shortcuts.

It is a multilanguage application, new languages can be added by creating new localization files (English, Dutch or Spanish are already included).

And, SFBrowser comes with a JavaScript API to interact with many of its features.

P.S. It is also available as a WordPress plugin.

FileVista, an impressive file manager application that can be installed on your websites, is giving away 5 x "5 Users License" ($199/each) to WRD readers.

Details on joining the giveaway is mentioned at the bottom of the post. But before that:

What is FileVista?

It is a feature-rich file manager application that works on your browser and offers a desktop-like working experience (even more) for your web files.

The application is built with ASP.NET (works on Windows servers), has a free "single user" version and more users require a license.

FileVista supports every action that can be expected from a file manager like create, delete, rename, copy, move, zip and unzip files + folders.

Actions can be accomplished very quickly as the interface is completely Ajaxed and a context menu (right-click) has shortcuts to everything.

It has a very powerful, permission-based access control system which gives the administrator full control over the contents with features like:

• creating groups and users
• locking users/groups into folders with desired rights (user's actions, disk usage and allowed file types)
• groups can have sub-administrators which can manage the users of that group

Using the application, you can also create custom links to files, set them to be temporary and even password-protected (every file can have its own password).

The file uploader is so nice. It handles multiple file uploads, displays a real-time progress bar and can resume interrupted downloads (handy for large files).

FileVista is multilingual (supports 9 languages) and it is definitely a very useful resource for collaboratively managing + sharing files (a very good fit for interactive agencies).

How to join the giveaway?

It is pretty easy, simply comment to this post and/or tweet this article with hashtag #wrdfilevista (click to tweet easily). You can do both to increase the chances.

Winners will be selected randomly on 9 February 2011 (1 week later).

Good luck to everyone.

jDownload is a jQuery plugin which aims to provide more details to the end users about the file to be downloaded.

Once a download link is clicked, it sends an Ajax query to a PHP file which returns the name, type and size of the file in a modal window.

User can choose to get the file or cancel the request which is specially a good experience for knowing the size of the file before downloading it.

The plugin requires jQuery UI besides the jQuery itself for the modal dialog and comes with various options for customization including the dimensions of the dialog, event to trigger it (click, hover, etc.), and more.

Also, based on the same idea, functionality can be improved further by adding "zipped downloads" or "send as e-mail" types of options to the end users.
