Hi Andrea, Thanks. I was only thinking of it as a standard user perspective. I have music / pictures stores in an amazon s3 bucket, and I find using this plugin to make access to the bucket rather seamless. After I mount the s3 bucket in OwnCloud, it's available as any other mounted folder - even within Nautilus. If your concern is around, say, a GNOME team member copying sensitive files onto their personal, externally-mounted storage share, then this would indeed cause a problem. It just depends on how we're intended to use this. If it's more intended for GNOME development and GNOME team usage, then your case makes sense. If it's more intended as a perk for GNOME members, then this would be nice to have. : ) No worries either way, though. Thanks for your consideration.

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? 2015-01-23 3:16 GMT+01:00 Jim Campbell <jcampbell gnome org>:Hello, I'm not sure if this is the proper venue for this request, but I wanted to request that the external storage support feature [0] be enabled in the GNOME OwnCloud instance. The administrator would need to enable the feature in the admin dashboard, but users could configure their external storage options (if any) via their own personal accounts. This plugin is part of the OwnCloud core application, and is not a third-party / unsupported plugin.
