EyeOS

EyeOS

EyeOS is a fully functional personal cloud desktop. Install it on your server, with or without mysql database support. The software supports flat file storage, so basically drag and drop the package, set a couple of file and folder permissions, walk through the administrator panel and your good to go with your own personal cloud computer. Best of all you are not paying any subscription fees. If you host your own server, there you go, and if you rent space, there you go too. In your browser remove the status bar from the bottom; which is most likely in the view tab. Then hit maximize and viola a fullscreen desktop anywhere you have a web browser. Frankly it works just fine for most things. Clearly its not going to run Windows applications, or Linux apps for that matter, but you can do the basics. Word processing, spreadheets and all that office goodness. FTP, and a web browser so you don’t have to leave your cloud desktop to search the net. I think the idea of a cload computer is excellent. Functionality is the most important thing, and it still feels like a desktop in your web browser is missing a couple of things. In time maybe the browser based desktop experience may feel more seamless, which hopefully is the primary goal of such projects.
