Script to make my own dropbox? Is there one? - GoFuckYourself.com

Does anyone know of a script that will let you run your own dropbox type site?
I need one that works with macs and windows and etc... and allows people to join and perhaps offer larger space paid accounts as well.

Anyone?

:-)

They're not secure. Why not have control over all of your data rather than trusting it to some unknown entity.

I would like to compete with them perhaps? ;-)
Any coderz got a grip on programming something like that?
I could do it but I lack the time.......

Looking for a prebuilt or opensource solution or even a coder who can do it.

Never put anything on a server (secure or not) that you wouldn't want someone else to look at. Anything else would be fucking stupid.
