<div>Barry, </div><div><br /></div>Does it support fuse with encFS? Then you could point Dropbox to the encFS encrypted directory, so the only files Dropbox get to see on their servers are encrypted (including file names). You then carry on reading and writing to the decrypted counterpart to that directory and it's encrypted (and synced) on the fly automatically by encFS. <div><br /></div><div>This is an established technique on the Linux desktop in order to use a proprietary cloud backup service whilst maintaining a philosophy of freedom. <div><div><br /></div><div>Has Stallman ever encouraged the GNU community to develop a mobile OS? That would seem to be a logical next step. </div><div><br /></div><div>I hope to try out Ubuntu on my Nexus some time when I'm not so dependent on it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Neal. </div><div>

I haven't you put dropbox on it - that's the only cloud it supports directly. click packages are very easy to build if you want to port something. There's also a gizmo that provides for direct use of any linux app.<br /><br />Go to the Ubuntu phone site from thenmain Ubuntu site,and get to the developer's site from there. The possibilities are endless. You won't be disappointed. I've only built one app, but it really has everything you could want.<br /><br />Regards, Barry<br /><br />-- <br /><a href="http://barrydrake.co.nr/" target="_blank">http://barrydrake.co.nr</a><br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />Nottingham mailing list<br /><a href="mailto:Nottingham@mailman.lug.org.uk" target="_blank">Nottingham@mailman.lug.org.uk</a><br /><a href="https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/nottingham" target="_blank">https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/nottingham</a></blockquote></div></div></div> </body>
