With Opera 10, we are introducing a new technology called Opera Unite, radically extending what you are able to do online. Opera Unite harnesses the power of today's fast connections and hardware, allowing all of us to help define the future landscape of the Web, one computer at a time. Read about how Opera Unite is going to change the way we interact on the Web on labs.opera.com.

 

Take control of what you share online

 

Opera Unite allows you to easily share your data: photos, music, notes and other files. You can even run chat rooms and host entire Web sites with Opera Unite. It puts the power of a Web server in your browser, giving you greater privacy and flexibility than other online services.

Share with other Web browsers

 

What if you use Opera at home, and a different Web browser at work? Opera Unite services can be accessed from any modern browser, including mobile browsers! At home, just select what you want to share, and you can view it later using your work Web browser without any problems.

Integrated and extendable

 

Simply enable Opera Unite when you start Opera, and you are ready to go. Find and install services with one click from our online catalog or easily create your own by using Web standards like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG and AJAX.

 

TL;DR run a bunch of web services from your browser- file server, media server, etc.

 

For example, this is what I have my Opera running right now: http://main.anthonyhong.operaunite.com/_root/content/

 

I've left most of it un passworded I trust you guys not to do anything crazy on it ;). Unite here is setup to run files off my NAS- a 24/7 web based server now, without having to do any real setting up, not too bad :)

You can put up an inded page in the directory that unite is directed to :), I haven't played around with it yet, but I'm sure you can do almost anything with it :)

 

edit: thanks! you know, having a shelf of movies is sorta a pain in the butt ;) Took some time to... digitalize them. Wish they had an integrated video player though

 

edit x2: and you can see how many people are using it too!

Haha hope you enjoy them ;) and thanks for the note!

 

I'm seriously going a bit delirious over this whole Unite thing, but next up, but there is some serious potential to reshape the way files are made accessible. The goal of unite was to 'reshape the web' and I think this is a step in the right direction
