I am not sure if we are on the same page. I am going to run ownCloud server on a CentOS server at DigitalOcean. I will enable server-side encryption and use Google Drive as an external storage. I don't have any PC. I am going to use ownCloud desktop client on my Fedora box, ownCloud Android apps on my Nexus 4 and 7. Google Drive will only be used as an external storage. When using server-side encryption, Google Drive will have no idea about files are being stored in it. That means Google Drive will play no role in version control. Neither will I use Google Drive to access anything and using server-side encryption means I won't be able to access those files in deencrypted on Google Drive. I was thinking on of using it because it's just $1.99 for 100GB. -- Sudhir Khanger, http://sudhirkhanger.com http://github.com/donniezazen _______________________________________________ User mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/user
