I found that Raspbian comes with a very old version (1.2 something) of the Owncloud client. I found no prebuilt more up to date versions, so I built one myself:
$ sudo apt-get install cmake qt4-dev-tools build-essential $ sudo apt-get install libneon27 libneon27-dev qtkeychain-dev $ sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libsqlite3-0 $ tar -xjf mirall-1.6.1rc1.tar.bz2 $ mkdir mirall-build $ cd mirall-build/ $ cmake ../mirall-1.6.1rc1
The owncloud client is now in the bin folder.
Note: I took the commands above from my history, so there is a slight risk of a mistake. Also, I might have installed other packages before, that I am not aware of are not required for owncloud. Feel free to give feedback!
It is quite useful to put a Raspberry Pi with a USB-drive in someone elses home, and let it syncronize your files. That way, you have an off-site backup for worst case scenarios.
