      I'm wondering when they are going to come out with an owncloud app for the chromebook/chromebox

      Why would they need an app? Just browse to the website.

      To Sync the files

      Isn't the whole point of a chromebook is that nothing is local? Everything is accessible via a web browser?

      Yes but you still need to be able to edit a document and then have the edit apply to the file in the oC server, right?

      Sure, but they have a built in editor for that, otherwise you would probably be looking at Google Docs for most things.

      I wasn't aware it would work. Haven't had the chance to test it, although I did just get my fiance a Chromebook. I might test it out on that. Thanks!

      The built in editor will work for documents on ownCloud. Google Docs on the other hand will edit documents in Google Docs. If you're buying a Chromebook you are also buying into Google's infrastructure and apps, so the assumption is that you will use Google Docs as your built in storage and Office suite.

      I'd like an alternative to Google Drive though. That was the intent anyway. Google drive uses WebDAV too so it's essentially the same thing except I can run my own server.

      Have you looked at https://owncloud.org/blog/libreoffice-online-has-arrived-in-owncloud/? Brings some Google Drive-esque features to ownCloud.

        That's pretty cool. I didn't know this existed. I have attempted to use LibreOffice on a Chromebox and it's very slow. IT's good to know that is possible though. I'm just playing around with them to see what's possible ultimately anyway.

          Trying to find some speakers to replace the 20+ year old Boston Acoustics ones i had that came with my original Gateway computer!

          P.S. Anyone have anything moderately cheap they like that don't sound like tin cans or laptop speakers?

            Logitech has a great 2 speaker system that isn't tinny at all. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/multimedia-speakers-z200

              Yeah, that's what I am looking for. Right in that price range, and something someone has heard and can vouch for.

                @hobbit666 for internet/phone? I switched to PlusNet and got a really good deal, I paid line rental up front for a year, reduced rate means just under £180 I think, then for £14.99 a month I have unlimited 40Mbps fibre...no site restrictions as they're essentially BT with English Call Centres, and no delay/throttling that I've seen...

                Their "hub" is ok, but I'm currently waiting till Ubiquiti stuff drops in price on Amazon to get a dedicated FW and WAP to link off the back of them...

                That's who I've been looking at 😄 same about the Ubiquiti stuff. Was going to get some kit too.

                  And same day shipping, too!

                  I'm wondering if I want to go the Bluetooth route instead to get rid of some of the damn wires.

                                      Uhm, sorry to hear. Good luck on your next gig.

                                      Something like that can't happen here in Germany. 3 to 6 months to the end of the quarter, except you are stealing something... Heard things are similar in the UK and other European countries.
