Hello, 

in my university, students have a cloud storage access (nextcloud) and we recommand to put large files (including videos) on it. I know we can create a secret link to a file on the cloud and put il in Mahara pages but is there something to more integrate the 2 and to easily include resources from the cloud on Mahara pages (videos for example) ?

Kind regards

Hi Eric,

Mahara itself doesn't do cloud storage but there is currently this plugin https://github.com/catalyst/mahara-module_objectfs that allow connections to AWS or Azure for remote file storage.

It might be able to be extended to handle nextcloud also

Hi Eric,

The closest I can think of is Gregor's Cloud plugin, but that doesn't yet support NextCloud and could benefit from a general update as it's not been updated for recent versions of Mahara yet. Since NextCloud is a fork of OwnCloud, maybe there is some code that could be re-used though...

Cheers
