Your approved now :)

Server (7) has pretty good support for this already. Is there a way we can
hook into the webui that already exists? I.e., earlier today I hacked
together a quick web app to access my owncloud server - basically just a
bookmark, but has more functionality than the dedicated android app
equivalent.

I think that sounds great - at least for starters. I nor remember that oc7
has a mobile theme. But for users, like myself, that hasn't yet started to
use [upgraded] oc7 it's worse. Therefore I was thinking about more of a
webdav file manager. But I still do think that that's a good starting
point.

Would you mind uploading your code to a branch in the app project?

And as you were saying, if I understand correctly, then create a qml ui to
input the URL and stuff, and then show the file manager ui for that.
