CMS / free software for hosting files

[Diakatarnis]

Hi Guys,

I'm after some advice, I have a client who wants to upload small video clips they have made, at the moment, they tell me the location of the file, and I then upload it for them (these are training videos and the like nothing copyrighted)

I'm after some sort of cms to streamline the process, I'm thinking somthing along the lines where they can login to the site, click upload, upload the file/s and then a link is gen to them to access said files.

Can anyone suggest and free cms to do this?

owncloud seems to be popular ... what's wrong with dropbox or google drive ?

Use dropbox. Why reinvent the wheel when there's something already there (and free depending on size requirements).

I've tried them on dropbox, but they are using 10gb currently on my server, and they really dont like it (dont ask me why the havent given me a solid reason not too....)

ive looked at ajaxplorer as well, and it seems to do all the jazz i need, but keeps throwing back errors on files over 50mb.

Why not use YouTube with private videos?

Also a good suggestion, unfortunately the users wouldn't be competent enough to do that even with a lot of tuition.

You can set up something like ajaxplorer, have a look an easy file manager front end with roles and permissions.

You could write something to hook into the YouTube API - I've just had to do that for car dealers (similar problem, similar lack of technical competence).

Try Brightcove, I set up a deal with them ages ago for a client and they were excellent.
