[LUG] Owncloud - anyone using it?

 

I noticed a thread here recently about it and I've just had a cursory 
look. What I can't find is how it works from a Linux desktop system (or 
laptop, etc). The website makes mention of "Desktop clients" and I don't 
want desktop, I want command-line. I actually want to simply 'cp' a file 
into a folder that's "in the cloud".
So does it work like NFS/CIFS ?

And from a Mac? (will it "just work" and integrate seamlessly into the Mac environment?)
I notice the Android client costs 69p but there is a free version of the 
same code - which wants more phone permissions than the paid-for one.
(Any way to run apps on an android that wants access to your phone call 
logs without giving it access?)
And are there any alternatives?

Cheers,

Gordon
