Hi

I was able to run ownclound synchronization interface from Settings 
applications and use for connecting to my local owncloud server. Folder 
synchronization works, so overall this module is usable.

I have found the following issues:
- owncloud module is accessible as stand alone application, but it does 
not work. Not sure how the owncloud module is implemented, but maybe it 
could be possible to disallow running this module as stand alone 
application.
- when filling the login in form and pressing sign in button nothing 
happens. After trying to synchronize some folder the login credentials 
are asked again and finally I am connected and able to select folders 
from my owncloud server
- the folder/file list is not correctly sorted as uppercase names appear 
first, then lower case names. It is not the way the user expects the 
folder/file list to appear

regards
Bogdan
