One of the main problems that I experienced with Get Simple was the lack of relative URL pointing when the CMS linked files and images. For example, when Get Simple posts URL information to the .XML files, it related the entire path versus something like “data/uploads/file.pdf.” I developed the new site on a mirror directory using the www2 extension, while the primary domain was at www. How was I going to rename domain paths in 93 .XML files without opening each of them? The answer was found with the command below, where www2 was the string that I needed to replace, while the www string is the correct and desired path.

grep -lr -e 'www2' * | xargs sed -i 's/www2/www/g'

Sometimes, the simplest tools do the best job. The fix took around a half a second, replacing all the strings within 93 .XML files.

Unfortunately, the app appears to be designed for smart phone versus tablets. The screen appears stretched when on a tablet and does not rotate in Landscape mode. But, I am tickled to see that ownCloud community has built an Android app. Say goodbye to WebDAV! Expect the ownCloud Android app in the Google Play store in June-July 2012.

Thanks to cyberciti.biz for the tip.

• “Create and collaborate - Google Docs is built right into Google Drive, so you can work with others in real time on documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Once you choose to share content with others, you can add and reply to comments on anything (PDF, image, video file, etc.) and receive notifications when other people comment on shared items. As a business user, you can share files or folders with specific people, your entire team, or even customers and partners outside your company, controlling who can view or make edits.

• Store everything safely and access it anywhere (especially while on the go). All your stuff is just… there. You can access your stuff from anywhere—on the web, in your home, at the office, while running errands and from all of your devices. You can install Drive on your Mac or PC and can download the Drive app to your Android phone or tablet. We’re also working hard on a Drive app for your iOS devices. And regardless of platform, blind users can access Drive with a screen reader.

• Search everything – Search by keyword and filter by file type, owner, activity and many more. Drive can even recognize text in scanned documents using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. Let’s say you upload a scanned image of an old newspaper clipping. You can search for a word from the text of the actual news article. We also use image recognition so that if you drag and drop photos of the Grand Canyon into Drive for an upcoming ad campaign, you can later search for [grand canyon] and photos of its gorges should pop up. This technology is still in its early stages, and we expect it to get better over time. Open more than 30 file types right in your browser—including HD video, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop—even if you don’t have the corresponding program installed on your computer.

We know you rely on your files to get work done every day. Drive uses the same infrastructure as other Google Apps services, meaning it also has the same admin tools, security and reliability, including:

• Centralized management: New tools available in the Apps control panel for administrators to add or remove storage for individuals or teams of users.
• Security: Encryption on data transfer between your browser and our servers, and optional 2-step verification that prevents unauthorized account access by having users sign in with a secure code from their mobile phone.
• Data Replication: Simultaneous data replication in multiple data centers, so that in the unlikely event that one data center is unavailable, your files will still be safe and accessible.
• Uptime: 99.9% uptime guarantee so you can be confident that your files will be available whenever you need them.
• Support: 24/7 support for assistance when you need it.”
