[Building Sakai] webdav & ipad

[Ed Garay]

Dropbox.com works very well to store, access and share files from iPads, 
and other iOS, Android and other smartphones and tablets.

Too bad Dropbox.com is not interested in signing a service agreements with 
colleges and universities.  I have been trying (without success) to 
convience Dropbox.com that there is a market for a commercial cloud 
services with us.  It would be great if we could have our students and 
faculty save stuff up on the cloud, but with an SLA agreement signed off by 
our university legal counsel, just like we did with GoogleApps at uic.

Someday, before I leave UIC, I guess...
Greetings from Chicago.
