So, I see lots of posting in file share of brackets and things you would have no idea what they were for.
No description, no nothing, is there a reward system for posting? do you get points for just throwing something in there?
It seems like it has become littered with stuff that is useless with out anything to let you know what it is and what its for.
Should I upload every drawing I have ever made even if it useless ?
I think there are some people that post stuff to fireshare thinking that’s part of the process to get their files to their table.
Drew Woolsey in particular seems to be using Fireshare as a method of transferring files to his table. I don’t know if he thinks that’s how it works or he is using it to avoid using something like one drive or a USB stick.
I have commented on his uploads a few times to tell him to find another way to transfer his files, but he either doesn’t see it or doesn’t care.
So how would that work? I don’t see why someone would do that.
I rarely go into file share just because of all the stuff that’s in there that shouldn’t be.
I’m just guessing, because he might just think that’s the workflow, but he makes the cut file on a computer in his house/office and uploads it to Fireshare. Then goes to the shop and downloads it from Fireshare onto his table computer to cut the parts.
ok now I see what your thinking. Thanks for explaining it. I do think he is one of the number one contributors to file share.
So I wasn’t the only one thinking that 
It’s crazy seeing some of the stuff on there.
You beat me to it Knick, It has gotten to the point where I don’t want to look at Fireshare.. Big turn off.
Has duplicates even, with a name change from poll to llop or the addition of “fine cut”
He’s not in the FB group (the Crossfire one that is).
Maybe he’s in the XR group?
I just on Fireshare today, first time in a couple of weeks. I was thinking WTH are all these brackets and flat panels? All from the same guy. And then I come on here and you guys are talking about the same thing. Kind of like Google listing to my thoughts….
Maybe the powers to be can make a folder for Drew before he ruins the whole Fireshare thing.
Fireshare needs to be moderated and files that don’t have a good description get deleted. All of his personal projects should be removed too.
On another note, I upload my files from the office to a File Share USB connected to my router. That let’s me access everything in the shop without having to carry a USB back and forth.
Works great if your computers are on the same network and it isolates the computers from each other so you can choose exactly what files each computer can see versus having everything open.
Let’s get a petition going to delete all those useless projects
Early on the same thing happened and they wiped out alot of useless stuff.Maybe they will again.
I’m not sure the “Drew Woolsey is an ass” file was necessary. Perhaps a less offensive way to notify him that he is cluttering up Fireshare would have worked better. Maybe something like a text file with “Drew Woolsey stop using Fireshare for your personal projects” would get the message across in a place where he can see it.
Agreed sadly disrespectful! Sad part done hidden behind a fire share name. How many guesses to figure who did it?
Maybe Langmuir will let some of us moderate FireShare.
Also the most glaring thing missing from FireShare as far as I know is that a poster cannot go back and edit one of their posted projects.
And whomever did this give your head a shake. Absolutely the wrong way of going about it.
This is not how we treat members of our community.
Here is his Langmuir forum site profile.
and he has shared quite a few files that are quite good, so we can give him some credit there.
Wow maybe I should not have said anything. Hopefully who ever did that gets removed.
Someone’s unthoughtful knee-jerk reaction is absolutely not your fault. Your topic was completely valid and worth discussing.
