Hi,
I'm starting to work on a Master's thesis in which I would like to
integrate cloud storage into Plasma Active. My supervisor Jaroslav
Řezník had already spoken with Sebastian. I've written a proposal
similar to the others here and I hope I'll receive some ideas,
suggestions or wishes.

User Story
=======
John has tablet at home and wants an option to have a space for files
outside of the tablet and have easy access to them. He will therefore
use the possibility to upload his files to the cloud storage. At the
same time this serves as a data backup. In addition, he can save
KConfig in this way.

Why this is important
=============
Files are essential for most users. It is important to have the
opportunity to store them transparently outside the device itself and
to protect them from damage. The backup of device configuration
provides a way of simple and fast restoration.


Proposed implementation
================
Make an application that will be able to connect with a cloud storage.
It will integrate KConfig, be able to access the cloud storage, allow
browsing, downloading and uploading files. It will also support the
KConfig backup/restore option.
The application will feature a graphical user interface.


Task Details
=======
Owned by: Marie Hrdinová
Effort Estimation: 5
Task dependencies: unknown, Probably "Centralized account management".
