I realize, that its very hard to achieve tagging over devices. But I think it 
has to be achieved in the time of synching accross devices. Maybe an addon of 
owncloud could do this: Recognizing tags on the machine, which sends files or 
changes to owncloud and sending tags to the machine which recieves files. Is 
that not importand for other user, especially bussiness users of owncloud?
BTW: The KDE community is known for solving difficult problems. :-)

I can accept this. But then it is important to add missing features to FIles. 
I am missing the ability to create documents. When I am in documents, i should 
be abble to create a document and so on.

Of course I see, tha develobment ressources are very scarce and bodega and the 
porting to KDE 5 framework are more important.
