While there are file storage solutions out there, I also use U1 to
sync my desktops - I sync a Keepass DB between my machines, and even a
gramps folder. And I was even able to sync to my android phone. I
shall miss U1 :(
Any recommendations for replacement options? Can I do that with owncloud?
thanks

The link provided seems to be showing up as a 404 error. If what I've
gathered from this post is correct that's very sad. It's so handy having
my photos off my phone download to my desktop automatically.
