Hey, I know it's probably not something to be done, but here are a few things I actually would love to see: 1. app for torrent downloads: - one torrent folder where you put your torrent files - one folder where downloaded torrents are stored - ability to use different torrent backends (put.io, your own torrent running on the server?)
2. inter owncloud sharing: - having the ability to devote 20% of your storage to another owncloud instance, which can store replicas of important data encrypted on your server - would add the ability for replicas and better data redundancy 3. general replication support with other storage backends: (could be similar to #2) - let users set a replication level for their folders and where these replica should be stored (replicas should be stored encrypted) different backends 4. small task for news app: - public rss feed for stared items to be used with kindlefeeder.com or other services for e-ink devices - ability to get full article instead of shortened ones (not available yet or?) 5. media converter: - ability to convert music and video files into special formats - one source folder, where files could be deleted after conversion or not (best to make an option) - one target folder, where all converted files are saved with the same folder structure - conversion is done in batches with the help of owncloud cron - conversion target format can be set in the personal options (* -> mp3, * -> mkv or mp4 for streaming) would be great - additionally single conversion could be done. give users an option within the files view to not download, but convert - additionally within public sharing guest users could have the option to download files with a special format, music folder with flac files let them download as mp3s... or so, perhaps automaticly convert publicly linked movie files to a streamable format? (perhaps via external media conversion apis, local ffmpeg or remote aws or similar tools) 6. zip support: - improve zip support, cache zipped files if storage is available, this prevents from rezipping on high usage public links (not done afaik) - prezip bigger directories shared via public link? owncloud cron? - enable zipping of huge directories... workaround the webserver limitations 7. backup support for SMS/Call activity: - app for backend for handling sms and call activity could just be a layer over the files app structuring them via folders SMS/date/person.txt or Call/dat/person.txt or so - mobile app, which backsup SMS and Call data to the aforementioned backend. (Android and perhaps ios) That's just a few ideas I noticed would be great to have. If anything needs to be discussed I'm probably around.
