Project Drive - File collaboration platform 

Project: Project Drive

Goal:

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations were forced to implement remote work arrangements for their employees. This presented a challenge for organizations that relied on traditional file-sharing methods, such as shared drives, which were not secure or scalable for remote work.

The goal of the Project Drive project was to develop a secure and scalable file collaboration platform that would enable employees to work remotely in files, share files, and have templates to improve performance.

Solution:

The Project Drive platform was developed using a Linux server cluster, MySQL database, Collabora Office, and Redis. This architecture provides a scalable and reliable platform for file collaboration. The Linux server cluster can be easily expanded to accommodate more users and data, and the MySQL database is a proven and reliable RDBMS. Collabora Office is a full-featured office suite that is compatible with Microsoft Office, and Redis can significantly improve the performance of the file collaboration platform.

Results:

The Project Drive platform has been successfully deployed in several organizations and has been well-received by employees. The platform has enabled employees to work remotely in files, share files, and have templates to improve performance. The platform has also been shown to be secure and scalable, and it has been able to meet the needs of a growing user base.

Benefits of this Project

It offers several benefits, including:

• Scalability: Drive can be easily scaled to accommodate more users and data.

• Reliability: Drive is a highly reliable platform that is designed to provide uninterrupted file collaboration.

• Security: Drive  uses a variety of security measures to protect user data.

• Cost-effectiveness: Drive is a free and open-source platform that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud.

Conclusion:

The Project Drive project was a success in achieving its goal of developing a secure and scalable file collaboration platform that would enable employees to work remotely in files, share files, and have templates to improve performance. The platform is a valuable tool for organizations that need to support a remote workforce.
