[Owncloud] Encryption

[Daniel Holm]

I'm confident about this encryption, but sure it's true that the admin 
can see the files - while they are decrypted. And I don't know about 
you, but I rather do something else then spending time waiting for 
users to login and then get their files. Still, this function makes it 
more secure then other cloud based storage, which you might now know 
how they store your files.

I'm planning on using ownCloud for my own storage service, and with a 
encrypted servers, connection and file storage, this is more secure.

Also, you could perhaps restrict permissions - even for admins. Do 
server maintenance, but can't see the user files, even while they are 
decrypted.
