Hmm that sounds interesting. Do you know how persistent the local cache is? If I do something like: open some (large) remote file (hence the large file is transferred to the client), reboot the client, and reopen the large file again. Is the large file then transferred again? (assuming no other clients changed the file in the mean time). The website is not particularly specific about the caching policy. If the file is only transferred once it could be useful to sorta kinda fake something like dropbox.=20 Regards,=20 --=20 - Frank
