I think it would be awesome to have a free software equivalent to Dropbox and even more awesome to have one created by a KDE/GNOME team. The GNOME Foundation would be interested in hosting the services part. We'd need to talk about requirements. Stormy On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 2:58 AM, Mario Đani

Stormy, its very nice to say that GNOME Foundation is willing to host the services part. My initial talk with Mairin, when we were not aware of OwnCloud is to use ssh account. But this makes it so much better! Please also note that OwnCloud is supposed to be more then just plain Dropbox replaceme
