Re: Request: Enable external storage support on GNOME OwnCloud instance

[Andrea Veri <av gnome org>]

Hey Jim!

I've personally never used the "External Storage" plugin myself and
I'm wondering whether introducing it might create some fuss between
users in the case, for example, they configure an external share and
they erroneously copy a sensitive file on it. We want to have control
over the files we manage and I feel introducing such plugin might not
be the best solution as files will suddenly be served by several other
cloud services at the same time.

Is there a specific reason you felt this plugin could have been a nice
addition? what's your experience with it so far?
