Self-test questions
Q1. Video files can be big sometimes. Storing them on the SD card in most of the
cases should be enough, but this might become a showstopper in some other cases.
Where should videos files indeed be stored?
1. On the local flash.
2. On an external USB hard drive.
3. On a NAS or networked file system (NFS).
Q2. This chapter focused on video:
does this mean that only videos are supported?
Q3. There are so many movie readers on the market,
"I don't need to bother with the
contents' administration
.
"
So what will I do:
1. I just need to share a video directory from my computer.
2. These are just video files, not banking accounts' credentials.
3. I prefer to protect my personal life and want my files to be watched by my
neighbors or the rest of the world so, yes, it's worth spending a few minutes.
Summary
In this chapter, we jumped from the administrator to the user's side of
MediaDrop, so we covered contents management through simple process
tasks that MediaDrop proposes.
Now, you know why you should select your user's rights carefully, so you don't
need to worry about upload consequences. This means that you can be sure that
any of your user's submitted content will have a delimited sharing perimeter:
the one you have chosen.
As such, remember what Spiderman says:
"With great power comes great responsibility."
We also saw that submissions can be done by many users or even by a single user,
if necessary.
Fortunately, MediaDrop gets the security jobs done, as it is built around a user's
privileges philosophy. That's why, in the next chapter, you will see how to manage
your user's rights according to usages from some real-world examples.
