Encrypted ownCloud Portable Client

This is a portable ownCloud client that runs on Windows. At starttime a Batch file is executed and will prompt you for a password. On first run this will set your password to encrypt the ownCloud client configuration (host, user, password) and the data stored in your portable Documents folder.

ATTENTION: This currently only works if used inside a complete PortableApps setup like used on USB sticks with the following directory structure:

X:\
   Documents\
       ownCloud\          <-- This folder will be generated by the script
   PortableApps\
       ownCloudPortable\  <-- Put the contents of this repository here

A setup with the PortableApps directories not at the root of a drive is not yet tested.

Used software

PortableApps ownCloud package

I used the PortableApps Stub from http://portableapps.com/node/37132. Thanks to the author.

ownCloud

Currently packaged is the ownCloud client version 1.8.0 (build 4893) from https://owncloud.org/install/#install-clients.

7-Zip

For encrypted packaging a 7za.exe is included. This is the official portable one in version 9.38 beta from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html.

If you ask yourself if 7-Zip is secure enough, please reefer to http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/29375/is-7-zips-aes-encryption-just-as-secure-as-truecrypts-version.

Bat To Exe Converter

To convert the start.bat to .exe I used Bat To Exe Converter version 2.2.0.0 from http://www.f2ko.de/en/b2e.php. Currently I need an .exe file because the PortableApps Launcher cannot handle .bat files with the WaitForEXEN setting.
