Boschtl Hupi (ID: 0000003aea63fcf2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/25/2015 Just doesn't work with owncloud 8.1.1. Also logs me out of owncloud as long as this extension is activated.

Marek (ID: 000000b8ee42ec84) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/23/2013 Works nice, would be great if it could login itself (especially using oauth/token or similar mechanism so it would not store my password)
