Like @robbeekmans was also stating on twitter today, one thing i hope to see is integration with existing data structures (existing file shares for example).
HyperDrive is awesome but you need to redesign your data structure, if you are not going to do this, the risk is that there will be duplicate data stored by the end-users (on Hyperdrive and on internal data structure).
I contacted RES about this and they told me that this is due to there security and encryption options, this sounds logical of course.
But i hope they will provide some way to integrate with existing data structures, because this will provide the following advances :

– Data stored in one place, no duplicate data and versions
– Same Security rules applies
– Integrates with existing backup solutions
– Same browse experience for the users
– Users not using follow-me-data can also access the data through network share

Of course this problem can be solved by migrating all existing data structures to a follow-me-data concept but i don’t think this will happen any time soon.
Webdav can be used as an alternative, but this is not as feature rich of course.
