Well, you own the data on the server, but its useless there for you. So 
what is the use case of the entire ownCloud (filemanagement) then? Just 
a hub to synchronize from one device to the other?

Actually yes, that's a feature. But I think we were hoping to make more 
out of ownCloud. And that made the idea slipping further down the 
priority list I think.
