I tried ownCloud out very recently and was astonished at the simple things you couldn't do. For example, via the 'sharing' function, you only can share to an image, wrapped in HTML, or via direct download. I just want to... share it without that, like imgur.com/exampleimage.png
The other was the inability, to sort. This confused me as, I thought the latest things are supposed to be at the top or bottom, with a clear way to choose some sorting option.
(perhaps with the above, I'm simply blind to the easy answers?)
Hopefully this version is better. I definitely agree with another commenter saying this could become very large one day, but not at the current rate -- way too much unnecessary complexities in the project.
I however, haven't had much experience with smaller open source projects so I'm not sure if that a good vision, with a good team sticking to that could turn it into a great piece of software.
You shouldn't want to share direct links, the directory where the actual content resides shouldn't even be publicly accessible, owncloud does this very well.
I don't think that's what he meant. Let's say you have a document that you want to share with your friends who don't have an Owncloud account on your instance. You click on share and get a publicly accesible link like "example.myowncloud.com/ji7H2i".
I don't know if Owncloud is able to do this, but it works with pyd.io.
