I need help creating a website like dropbox

    I would like to create a site like https://www.dropbox.com/

    I don't know programming.

    I will probably need a file manager script.

    Before I get into making the actual dropbox program for the computer, I would like to get my Online File Manager set up.

    Anyone who would like to help, let me know how you prefer to communicate (Email, GoogleTalk, Windows Live, BBM)


    Thanks

    You could just do some form of FTP setup? Then have an online client for users to access their files then later on develop a standalone desktop application which basically connects to the server and shows the data/files.

    Yeah, just like ftp, but users must be able to upload/download/share files without an ftp client. They should just be able to login to their account and download/upload.

    You can roll your own Dropbox-like syncing and backup service with some open source software. Is it OK with you?))
