What are some good 3rd party django apps to build a user dashboard and folder management (similar to a Google drive account)

[Shanu Kumar]

Hi,

I have been trying to find an app which helps build a user-specific file/folder management system.

An example for this could be an app that is exactly similar to your google drive account. The operations performed by the app could be a subset of what a google drive account does:
1. Organization of folders into Shared with me, Starred, Recent.
2. Showing details and activity associated with a specific folder
3. Displaying the permission level that each user has with a folder etc.

I tried searching for this but could not find an app that could meet these specifics.

Thanks.

I have not had this use case; but I assume you have looked at:
https://www.djangopackages.com/grids/g/file-managers/

Perhaps one there is close to what you need; and you could extend/enhance it to match exact requirements.  They range from really simple to full-fledged EDMS such as Mayan.

(Note: you may need supplementary apps as well - bearing in mind Django's modular (vs monolithic) design - so look at something like https://www.djangopackages.com/packages/p/django-guardian/ to handle object permissions rather than expecting this to appear in a package dealing with file uploads or folder organisation.)
