<div>That's the only drawback we have. You can only share folders with users on the same server. For our family/business accounts, we just make sure all users are on the same backend.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>We run hundreds of servers, and use nginx as a proxy in front of them so we can move users without them knowing or having to update settings.<br></div>

<div>Sure. We do a thing we call slots and stores, where we split each machines up into up to 40 separate instances of Cyrus with 1Tb of storage each, replicating to different machines.<br></div>

<div>That works fine, but it wont' give you high availability.<br></div>

<div>Not much unfortunately. We've written about our setup many times, most recently here:<br></div>

<div>But they don't give you quite enough configuration detail to just plug and play.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Our plan with the Cyrus Foundation and developing Cyrus 3.0 is to have pre-configured Docker images which you can just run and add storage, and they will work in a cluster. It's very ambitious, and we might not have it fully stable by July when we launch 3.0, but it's definitely the eventual goal.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>What is your timeframe for setting up this new system?<br></div>
