I used ownCloud for both the CardDav/CalDav/etc. and the dropbox-like stuff for a couple of months now. Sadly as you say the dropbox functionality doesn't work well. It takes up to several days until every file is synchronized everywhere and I want to synchronize almost my whole /home directory between my ThinkPad and my iMac. A couple of days ago I installed btsync and tested syncing one 130 MB big directory. I added it both at the same time to btsync and ownCloud. After about 2 minutes btsync had its copy on the other computer. After one hour ownCloud had cpied about 50 MB to the server when I canceled it and removed the ownCloud dropbox-client from my computers. I still use all the other stuff to synchronize my calendar/address book between my computers and mobile devises and I even use their RSS backend but with my own Firefox OS app https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/feedmonkey/ https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/feedmonkey/
