Hi Frank,
my ambitions are a little more modest for now. It annoys me that I have
to send a file from the netbook on the table by my left hand, half way
across the continent and back to view it on the Chromebook on my lap.
That's what Google Drive does for me.
With the Chromebook, I can access almost all of the features of Owncloud
with out modifying anything. Indeed, I could mount my Google Drive into
Owncloud but it's Google Drive I'm trying to avoid.
I've had a look at some of the filesync apps available for Chrome and it
does look feasible to create a WebDAV
app, perhaps through NaCl.
Even this "baby step" is a mountain for me because my javascript
knowledge is next to zero.
regards,
Drew

Hi,
that's interesting. I would switch to a chromebook connected to my ownCloud
immediately.
Unfortunately this would require some work.
Your ownCloud has to provide OAuth so that you can use your ownCloud
credentials to log into your chromebook. Than ownCloud has to provide all kind
of Google API to sync the configuration for example. I don't know if this is an
open protocol.
And then your ownCloud server has to provide Chrome WebApps for all the
installed ownCloud Apps so that you can use your ownCloud for example for
managing files.
ChromeOS has to be patched to authenticate against your server of course which
is tricky because of code signing.
Would be awesome if someone would work on that.

Hi All,
I've owned a Chromebook for two weeks now (the Samsung ARM model) and I'm
thoroughly impressed with the machine as a replacement for my ageing Asus eee
901. Nice format, weight, k/b and screen (for 1/4 the price of a Macbook Air),
very responsive web browsing . However, I am suffering a strong allergic
reaction to being borged by Google.
I'd like it to be an "OwnBook", depending not on Google but on my Owncloud.
The 16GB internal SSD is a known and accepted limitation, it is what it is.
Biggest frustration is the lack of support for file sharing, no nfs, atalk or
webdav support. My Chromebook is alone in a sea of data (unless, of course, you
push the files up to Google Drive).
The Chrome Web Store has apps for various "cloudy" file sync/share services,
has anyone contemplated a webdav app for OC?
Ideally, I would like to mount a WebDAV share to appear in the File Manager
alongside Google Drive and the SD card.
A quick search (on Google, of course!) found two sample projects (links below),
one is an implementation of the dropbox.js API inside Chrome and the other is a
WebDAV API in js. It looks like I have hit my current limit for developing the
idea asjava_script is a foreign country to me.
Is anyone currently looking at this or a similar concept?
Can anyone recommend a js primer for a sysadmin who hacks at php?
regards,
Drew
