If you enable file encryption ownCloud will store all your data
encrypted. So it is possible to use ownCloud as a front-end and a
random storage provider as back-end without enclosing your private data
to the provider.

But the current encryption application is depreciated, so I would
recommend to wait for ownCloud 5 for this feature.

Currently we are working on a complete new encryption framework based
on a public/private key system and with strong RSA encryption. This
should be ready for ownCloud 5.
