It's not a huge issue for me as I usually have 64GB sdcards and I don't sync my iso files collection on the mobile.
If I really needed it I would setup a network share over WebDAV, and mount it in Android with a random app that does so.
- Accessing them via FTP leaves you without instantaneous PDF-previews (OC uses pdf.js), video and image previews, etc.
- Sharing via FTP is even worse: Can you easily setup a share, view who you shared it with and automatically restrict each share to an expiry date and an individual password?
- If you can because you created the best FTP client ever, can you do these things from your mobile phone?
Can ask my server to do whatever I wrote in a script when back home. This specific ftp settings change functionality isn't implemented because I don't use it (I have a public folder and that's it), but I do similar things.
Look up apps like Script Kitty or SSH Button.
- Does FTP automatically create zip archives if you want do download a folder with all files in it?
- Can you look up your calendar events from an airport terminal? No, you cannot install your favorite PIM client there.
Anyway, OwnCloud is a CalDAV server just like the one I talked about, any CalDAV server address will work.
But the above are examples of why Owncloud exists and why so many people love it despite its flaws.
Its safety standards would be ok for a intranet-only webapplication, this thing goes on the internet man, and it has all your data in it.
I trust more Google or even Mega than OwnCloud.
