Hi, Tom, I will look into this when I get my new computer.
Right now I am entranced by my disappearing hard disk space on my old one. I just went out for coffee and while I was gone another half-gig disappeared from my available hard disk space. I assume that SETi has taken over my computer and has squirreled away martian communications in some sector unavailable to my view. Another possibility is that something is gone crazy with the hibernation function on my machine, such that it keeps adding to the hibernation file, rather than deleting it when I “awaken” the machine? It’s kind of inspiring. I am in the grip of something larger than myself. Nick Nicholas S.

However, unlike those services, the Seafile server is self-hosted on hardware controlled by the user. Users can interact with their files in two primary modes. In the first mode, using the Drive client, files are downloaded as needed without an initial synchronization step. Copies of files that are in use are stored locally, both for speed and to provide offline access, but users don't need to have space locally for all their cloud files. In Syncing mode, a library of files is synchronized to the local device. After the initial synchronization, only changed portions of files are sent over the network. In both modes, users may opt to enable client-side file encryption, which encrypts files prior to sending them to the server. Seafile desktop clients are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Mobile clients are available for Android and iOS devices. Seafile servers are available for Windows and Linux. Home users may be interested in the Raspberry Pi version.

Of the 12 G I freed up on my computer moving stuff to the external HD and deleting stuff AND deleting the trash AND cleaning up system files, repeatedly, all but 5 G had been replaced 24 hours later! I had done nothing on the machine in the meantime but answer email. Are you SURE that there is no way that some program has gone berserk an is busily cloning stuff on my HD? Are there any programs that are prone to that sort of thing? Outlook? Firefox? Just double checking. Nick Nicholas S.
