Hi Cornelius,
I think it does not make too much sense because you loose almost all
features of the ownCloud web interface, such as viewing files, music etc.
To me client-side encryption is the one big missing feature in ownCloud. This
would enable hosting it on an server you don't control, and still have full
ownership and control of your data.
Well, you own the data on the server, but its useless there for you. So
what is the use case of the entire ownCloud (filemanagement) then? Just
a hub to synchronize from one device to the other?
Actually yes, that's a feature. But I think we were hoping to make more
out of ownCloud. And that made the idea slipping further down the
priority list I think.
Of course you would lose some convenience and some features, but if it's all
about convenience and features, and not about control of your data, then I can
also go with Google or similar services.
I think both points are valid.
Is it hard to implement such a feature? Hell yes. But that's part of the fun
and the value.
Does that mean you're in? Great! :-D
regards,
Klaas
