## What is Pydio Lite?

[Update 01/2019] Pydio Lite is now deprecated in favor of the Pydio Pro application, which is now free of charge

Pydio - Put Your Data In Orbit - is the mature open source alternative to SaaS-based documents sharing solutions, for the Enterprise.

Formerly known as AjaXplorer, Pydio is an open source file sharing platform for the enterprise, with simple and sleek web and mobile apps, hosted securely on your servers and clouds. As easy to use as great consumer software, Pydio is designed to provide enterprise grade security and control.

Unbelievably easy to install for System Administrators, Pydio connects instantly to your existing employee directories and to your existing storage, without migration.

Forever free for the community, a commercial offering is available for the enterprise with professional support, branding and white-labelling, and simple BYOD deployment on mobile devices.

PLEASE NOTE that this application is useless if you don't actually want to connect to a Pydio server.

### 1/5 — Photo and Video Uploads Only

*2018-09-11, version 2.0.13*

I can’t upload files from my iPad unless it’s a photo or video which is just sad. Every other app I’ve used like this: google drive, Dropbox, etc all allow you to upload any file type straight from my iPad. Placing that kind of limitation on upload types is ridiculous.

### 3/5 — Still Can’t Read txt Files

*2018-02-16, version 2.0.9*

I really want to like this app but after three updates it still can’t read a simple text file. Does great with PDF and DOC files, and even HTML. But not simple text :(

### 2/5 — No Log out button, no response from support

*2018-01-24, version 2.0.7*

Had the app on my iPad and loaded fine. Problem was when I went to log out of the app, found there was no way to log out and appears app was running in background constantly. Sent email to support to verify I wasn’t somehow missing the log out button but they have been silent.

### 1/5 — Not happy with App or support

*2017-11-13, version 2.0.6*

I was using a previous app that worked perfectly fine until the iOS 11 update. I’ve since had to download this app. I’m about 15 times I’ve tried to use the app on both my iPhone and iPad I’ve only been able to successfully log into my server once. 

I’ve contacted support and get very short replies to my emails with no help at all. I’m highly disappointed and asking my organization to consider hosting out data elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Was great. Crap update.

*2017-11-02, version 2.0.6*

It is the lite version, so expectation was low. It gave me file access - which was enough. 

Another update. All saved info gone, and it won't log on. Halfway through a big project, and I can no longer monitor progress. 

Why? Why do updates that don't help?

### 1/5 — Broken with update

*2017-10-28, version 2.0.6*

The update got rid of my existing servers and prompted me to enter them in again. However, it just says “server is unreachable” whenever I do so. Very unhelpful…

### 1/5 — Doesn't work for me

*2017-09-15, version 1.7*

All I get is a timeout error when I try to add/save a host.

### 3/5 — Does it's job, but not much else

*2017-04-02, version 1.7*

App is not bad, does a basic job but not much else. Clearing the cache can be a bit of a chore, and would love to be able to sort files by date other than the default of alphabetical.

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-10-31, version 1.6*

Works very well.

### 3/5 — Ok, but need refinement

*2015-06-05, version 1.6*

Problems:  Often crashes when accessing Photos on iPad.   This app removes the EXIF data (i.e. location data) and I can not find a way to prevent that from happening.  
Works well:  Sync works, mostly, as expected.   When there is a problem with the sync, the app gives NO FEEDBACK, the file you told people you sent them is just no there.  GUI is nice.  Log-in is easy.  Overall, not bad, but why does it strip the GPS data off my photos????  Please make that a option.
