elementary File-Sharing and Syncing Service

Registered by Eduard Gotwig

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "Content-centric sync service" for updated plans.

There should be an elementary file sharing and syncing service, similar to ubuntu one, but encrypted by default (UNLIKE U1) , and with more space, for free. Also there SHOULDNT be the option to buy more space from the service it self (like U1), and you as a user should be able to setup your own elementary file sharing and syncing service on your own server, for free of course. For the space we would have to find a partner. the partner maybe wants to be shown at our homepage, or at the configurations, and at the dialogs of the service.

Apps, especially elementary ones, should support that service trough contracts. It should be similar to the ubuntu one integration in nautilus, but only for marlin of course, and should use the $HOME/public directory. The configuration for the service should be realised as a plug for switchboard.

The service should be combined with the account, or you can add the service to your elementaryos.org website account.

NO APP IN ELEMENTARYOS should depend on the service, or an account for that service. (see iTunesĀ® Apple-ID integration e.g as an example like it shouldnt ever be integrated in elementary)
