== Sub-product ideas == | |||
We started exploring three angles in proof-of-concept stage. | |||
=== Syncto: passwords, bookmarks, etc. === | |||
Given that Firefox Sync already allows users to sync certain types of data between their various instances of Firefox (be they Desktop, Android, or iOS), it makes sense to add FxOS to the existing FxSync product. | |||
=== Cloud Storage: photos, songs, etc. === | |||
FxOS already allows users to store and view media files using storage that is connected to the device (for instance, an SD-card). Mounting remote cloud storage space (for instance the user's Dropbox or ownCloud account) as a (cached) virtual storage device makes it possible to browse the files on there 'as if' they were on a local storage device. | |||
=== Kinto.js: valuable user data in general === | |||
A sync client that can run in any browser. It can be used in FxOS (system) apps that store any kind of user data, to sync that data to a server that implements Kinto's cross-origin http API. | |||
