You had to register as a user with their portal -- whether you owned a device, or if you wanted someone to share, so there's this concept of them keeping a LDAP on all potential users of their solution. Not too happy about having someone else having any ability to be able to connect to my content if there was a security breach (not if .. when..). <div><br></div><div>Connected Data has since refocused and gone upmarket.

So far, I've put a finger on OwnCloud, BitTorrent Sync.
