I recently came across an article about 16 Different Clones you can Build with Drupal. I have seen most of the clones on the list such as Digg clones and Facebook clones. The one clone that I have not seen is a file management web site clone.

In the past we have built a lot of projects using Amazon S3 and the Media Mover module mentions in the post. We have however only used that for basic document management to support content editing, as oppose to building a complete site like Box.net.

This article reminds me of a recent email discussion in the IT mailing list of the University of Chicago where there is a question about a Drupal theme to build a file management site. Back then the discussion pointed towards using Alfresco as the document manager.
