Feature Requests - Loving the product so far!!

[Cobalt503]

Hey I think what you guys have put together here is pretty awesome. I only needed cloud drive but after using it and bumping into some of your other software in the past (drive pool) I decided to save up and get the whole suite of software you offer. ANYWAYS!!!

 

A couple features I would like to see integrated:

 

1. After my initial install I started a transfer to the cloud and it maxed out my upload bandwidth immediately killing the internet experience for everyone in my house and using my computer remotely. I had to figure out how to adjust the bandwidth (Drive options >  Performance > IO performance > Manually type number) I had to adjust it a few times over the course of a few days and it stopped functioning and I think that bandwidth should be easier to manipulate and maybe on the UI there it shows how much you are uploading. TLDR: Bandwidth throttle controls up front on maybe a dial or easier access instead of 4-5 steps to adjust bandwidth.

 

2. When you are looking at the accounts linked and you can connect to multiple service providers. It would be nice if there was a "size/free space available" attached to each linked account. I.e. Dropbox - Username@emailaddress.com - 6gb/15gb - Create 

Knowing how much cloud space is available without having to open a browser first to confirm would help when trying to drive pool my cloud drives. 

 

I know I only dropped 60$ on your trio of software and that's only a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things but if you guys consider and impliment these I would love you that much more

 

Thanks for your time and consideration

Well, we appreciate the feedback, regardless!  it helps us to make a better product in general. 

 

I've added the requests:

 

bandwidth throttling:

However, as for the size limits ... this is a lot more complicated. Some providers give us back incorrect information, depending on a few things. "unlimited" accounts are especially bad about this.  They'll report a max capacity, even when the account is unlimited. 

 

That said, a check when creating the drive wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea.  (as opposed to your suggestion of on the main list, as this would keep down the number of API checks).

Additionally, if we do implement these sorts of changes, they won't make the stable version. They may make it into a 1.1 release, but we're pretty much feature set at this point, as we do want a stable version out soon.
