Feature Request: Access to Transporter system by Connected Data/Drobo (similar to Dropbox but personal) #159

Connected Data has a system for a private cloud similar to dropbox, but self hosted. The system includes both personal and enterprise servers, ranging from cheap to costly. The ChromeOS machines cannot natively access the files on the Transporter system. It would be great if the Transporter system could be accessed in a similar way you have enabled OneDrive and Dropbox. Transporter has published their API now, allowing other applications and connections with other systems besides the clients they have developed. ChromeOS is the missing link for our company - would love to see it. Feel free to contact me for any questions, I can give contacts at Connected Data if needed for access to the API.

@bristolview Unfortunately, I don't know Connected Data. Is it "http://www.connecteddata.com/"?

There are two links, one for consumer and one for enterprise systems.
Consumer: http://filetransporterstore.com/ Enterprise: http://www.connecteddata.com/app-developer/

Sorry for not providing links earlier. The app-developer url above has information on the API to integrate with the service. The service has two modes of access, NAS and Local Sync. Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets do not sync, they access files directly. A ChromeOS device could access files directly using the mobile interface.

I use this system for my company and for my personal files, so if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer anything I can. Thanks for considering this - you could likely license the solution to Connected Data, I'm not the only person who has requested it.
