[Myexperiment-discuss] DropBox support on myExperiment

[Marco Roos]

Hello Jits et al.,

Just a thought...
I'm at a portal workshop in Edinburgh where myExperiment came up in a discussion. A claim was made that myExperiment was not entirely appropriate for a certain problem because it doesn't store data directly. I was wondering if DropBox, to which you kindly invited me, could address this 'shortcoming'. Could it provide a more powerful way to link in data than simply adding a reference to some server location in a pack? I imagine it could be extra interesting if DropBox would have an API of some kind that would allow myExperiment to do more interesting things with data in a DropBox (or other clients via myExperiment). What do you (or others) think?

Thanks,
Marco.
