An amazing use of Pydio would be to allow browsing data stored on cold storage (tape libraries, data uploaded to Glacier, hard drives stored in a shelf, etc…).
– the access.offlineFS plugin would allow to define one or several xml/json listing per user, each listing being one repository. Of course, no previews, no thumbnails, just directory structure and filenames
Here is a (horribly messy but working) script to generate an XML or Json listing out of a source folder : https://charbon.io/pydiodo-listing
The listing would be generated once, manually, when the data is live, and would then allow Pydio to present the directory structure of cold storage.

Implementation would be pretty simple :
– an XML or JSON standard would have to be determined, that would store the file-system listing Here is a sample document / proposal, with a listing of the “conf” folder of Pydio : https://charbon.io/pydio-xml-listing Same stuff with json : https://charbon.io/pydio-json-listing
