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