Congratulations on the launch.

I was recently trying to tackle the same problem (@howie.systems). The hardest 2 problems we had to face were ACL and large files (and large volumes).

How did you solve the ACL part? I worked with a customer that had 200k pdf/images/dwg files on SharePoint and other 1M on samba. It took like a week to sync it all and keep tabs on the access rights of each employee.

How did you solve unpredictable large files: a pdf 2000pages, maybe some A0 in the mix. Or some 4GB power point presentations?

PS: great fan of gather. PPS: say hi to Clinton from me (amy.app) if he is still around. He was our mentor back in New Zealand at the flux accelerator (2016)

Forgive my cynicism, but $2 says they simply didn’t.
