I gave up on OwnCloud not least because it seemed overkill for my needs. What I am in the process of doing however is using Bittorrent Sync.

I have my pi set up with apache, MySQL and php and as far as I can tell everything is fine. I've also attached an NTFS drive with some folders available via samba. All good so far.
My two Ubuntu machines are using the btsync client, which seems to work when they talk to each other.

Now for the part that is making me turn pale, go weak at the knees and shake from fear; get btsync to sync the Calibre files in a way that COPS can get to them on the external drive.
Now, one of the default setups of btsync is to have it run as user and group btsync. I could change permissions on the external drive to btsync, but wouldn't that make them inaccessible for COPS?

Anyone else using this set up?
