Pain: As a large regional news agency we require the ability to securely and flexibly share urgent and time-sensitive material with external actors (e.g. for comment, legal review, collaboration & confirmation, etc.) and can’t afford to be limited by traditional sharing methods which are often slow, inflexible and insufficiently secure.
Pill: Openstore, MediaDropBox, AWS S3
Description: Taking advantage of Openstore and MediaDropBox’s highly efficient integration with Amazon S3 storage services. This integration enables any Openstore or MediaDropBox content to be reliably and securely shared via individual, time-constrained links to the material.
Proof: As we have quite a bit of experience with S3 containers it was straightforward to configure our Openstore and MediaDropBox installations to place any sensitive materials which require external sharing there and to automatically send time-limited links to each of the required recipients. So far everything is working as intended and we are satisfied with the installation.
