Sphere 3D Corp. (ANY)

Not sure if anyone else picked up on this, but the last news release has a few hidden gems when reading between the lines.

Since containerized applications run natively on the server-side, saving your work would mean saving it to a local drive (not best practice at all) or on a network file share. Schools that have implemented GW probably realized that is a problem when you have thousands of students working on assignments in a containerized app and that they need to save their work in progress without risk of other students deleting files or plagiarizing each other's work. Also, creating private secured folders for each student is just alot of manual (mundane) work for IT.

This is I think why Sphere 3D announced support for Google Drive integration over other storage providers (OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, iCloud, OwnCloud, etc). I expect Sphere 3D would announce support for the others as the product matures and as clients demand for them.

This news release is validation that GW is being used in a production environment with one or more clients using Google's products and services (ie. Chromebooks).
