exactly. it's host-proof hosting. ownCloud does not get to see the data. the advantage is that if your ownCloud server gets hacked, your bookmarks and potential other things you may have in there are still safe. > > Maybe there is a Way.

It would also be very interesting to tie that in with the webfinger app and Mozilla Persona. but if you're purely looking at using ownCloud for Mozilla Sync, then IMO you need to respect its end-to-end encryption design. _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
