Yesterday Dropbox gave an overview of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.dropbox.com\/tech\/2016\/05\/going-deeper-with-project-infinite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Project Infinite<\/a>, which was officially released last month. According to the Dropbox blog, \u201cProject Infinite is designed to enable you to access all of the content in your Dropbox\u2014no matter how small the hard disk on your machine or how much stuff you have in your Dropbox.\u201d Makes sense, every user should be able to access\u00a0<strong>THEIR<\/strong>\u00a0data. But there\u2019s a catch, one which many people are not thrilled about.<\/p>\n<p>Dropbox continues to state in their blog \u201cTraditionally, Dropbox operated entirely in user space as a program just like any other on your machine. With Dropbox Infinite, we\u2019re going deeper: into the kernel\u2014the core of the operating system. With Project Infinite, Dropbox is evolving from a process that passively watches what happens on your local disk to one that actively plays a role in your filesystem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Uh, what? They\u2019re \u201cactively play[ing] a role in your filesystem?\u201d Just looking at some of the reactions on Twitter to this announcement, many are less than happy, one might even say angry or \u201cfreaking out,\u201d about this new development. And many are even suggesting a move to ownCloud, which of course is flattering.<\/p>\n<p>We have been\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/owncloud\/client\/issues\/4341\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discussing the ownCloud virtual filesystem<\/a>\u00a0for quite some time. This is our version of project infinite, but completely under your own control.\u00a0In the spirit of being open, we don\u2019t have all of the answers here, but I do encourage folks to take a look and see if they have anything to add, because this could be an awesome feature for everyone! With ownCloud users always have access to their files and because it is installed on your own system rather than into a third party cloud, ownCloud will never be able to \u201cplay a role in your filesystem.\u201d You retain 100% of control over your files, as well as 100% privacy from prying eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you hear the news?
