Hi there,

I’m evaluating your software. And I need to know if you support these features:

• File upload, watching and download (at least 4GB without chunking) • API’s (e.g. REST) • Permanent links to file and folder hierarchy • LDAP integration and right - /user management • Documentation • Self-Hosting • Server stats to performance and user activities • Enterprise Support • It can handle 1.5k users and still growing community

Thanks for your support!

Regards Gino

RFI? 😉 Why don’t you just look around and try it out? I’ll give some brief answers nevertheless.

> File upload, watching and download (at least 4GB without chunking)

Don’t know what you mean, sorry. Files are transferred, yes.

> API’s (e.g. REST)

Yes.

> Permanent links to file and folder hierarchy

They are on your disk. Link to them as you like. 😉

> LDAP integration and right - /user management

No.

> Documentation

Maybe?

> Self-Hosting

What?

> Server stats to performance and user activities

Probably not. Of course, you can gather whatever stats you like of the performance on your servers.

> Enterprise Support

Nope.

> It can handle 1.5k users and still growing community

In a single cluster? Doubt anyone has tried, but it would be cool to hear how it works out. As a hub-and-spoke layout, I think it’d run fairly fine, but you might need some extra RAM on the central point.

Hey thanks for your response! That’s really bad with – no LDAP Feature – it would be great point for us (especially cuz the among of users ;)) It would be really worth to try if you would have this feature!

The cluster point isn’t a point. 😉 we are a big company.

Thanks for your support.

I’m interested in this: what would the LDAP support be for? Access to the web interface?

Hi jpjp,

if you work in a big company … would you like to re-register a every single user? 😄  
yes it would be for example web interface or right and user management. 😉

@Gino The new [introducer](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/v0-9-18-introducer-nodes/974) feature might be worth a look for you. But, it doesnt have any right or user management at the moment.

I suspect that the fuller answer to “LDAP support” is more along the lines of “syncthing doesn’t work like that” since there’s no real user authentication involved in a device joining a cluster. I think you (@Gino) are looking for something more centralized than syncthing.

The obvious thing that comes to mind is ownCloud, which [does support LDAP](http://owncloud.org/features/) and has sync clients for desktop and mobile platforms.
