#2I only looked quickly, but I didn't see anything about encryption on the site. Are you sure it's encrypted out of the box?

I use the turnkey linux appliance and it has SSL enabled out of the box.

Out of the box, no. There are plugins, but they encrypt on the server side.

#5I tried ownCloud recently on a Raspberry Pi and found it dog slow. I'm not sure if I just found it at a bad time, or if it requires some more serious hardware, but it wasn't usable for me personally.

If you mean encrypted data storage on the server, you're better off just storing all its files in an encrypted volume using something tried and tested like dm-crypt rather than having to trust ownCloud to get it right.

I agree. I was just referring to the title of the link which mentions encryption, something I didn't find on the site linked.

Make sure to install and activate php-apc (or some other accelerator).
While I don't have an RPi myself, a colleague of mine had his ownCloud instance go from dog slow to usable with that simple change.

#9I used a 4.5.x version and at first it seemed like a good replacement for DropBox but the syncing doesn't seem up to par with Dropbox. Every now and then owncloud syncs hundreds of megabytes of data for unexplainable reasons, even worse it would create duplicates. Maybe because I jump around between many virtual machines, windows, mac and linux. The syncing gets confused. I never lost any data though.

The biggest factor I found was to turn off ajax-based workers and switch to cron. Also, disable any apps you aren't using.
