When I developed our internal remote filestore abstraction I designed it with the idea that it would be fairly simple to integrate other remote filestores as well. Should only be a couple of weeks away, but don’t quote me on that! Once we’ve finished polishing and testing it we’ll be releasing it to production. For FastMail subscribers, you can try it out right now on beta. For the first external service to integrate with we chose Dropbox, mostly because its by far the most widely used, but also because they use the same model and so it was very easy to create an abstraction and slot it behind it. Our file storage facility is fairly simple in concept, and operates around the traditional files-and-folders model that we’ve used forever.
We’ve been extending that to allow you to use a “cloud” file storage service in exactly the same way.
We’ve had our own online file storage facility for years (long before it was cool), and you’ve always been able to attach a file in your store to an email and save an email attachment to your store. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on integrating remote filestores into FastMail.
