There could be a large market for non-commercial use of this. Some sort of personal or light variant which was cheap or free could go down really well.

• Hi Shaun,
  
  In order to help me understand the use case and challenges wrt this - Would you plan to install the complete appliance to use it for your personal use?

• If it's just a file sharing solution you are looking for, there are several good and free solutions out there.
  
  Personally I think solutions like Filr should be open sourced. That would mean we can build it using the openSUSE build service on top of both openSUSE LEAP (free/home version) and SLES (enterprise solution). Obviously this would mean current closed or licensed parts should be open sourced (the Novell/Micro Focus code) or removed (like Oracle Viewer files, possibly Microsoft SMB code). Oracle Viewers could be replaced by LibreOffice Online for viewing and editing files. Users can buy the -supported- Micro Focus Desktop Client for Win, Mac and mobile clients in the app stores. For Linux and eventually for other platforms we would need a (cross platform) open client.
  
  The Filr "enterprise" version could still bundle Oracle Viewer Files and other supported (closed) components like editing (COOL), printing (iPrint web-print), Office plugin, etc. This version should add the CIFS/SMB and NCP storage connectors.
  
  The advantage of an open model is install and upgrade channels would be available for openSUSE so users could easily take advantage of Filr.
