ownCloud, the complete, open source cloud file sync tool (includes music streaming, file management which supports sharing, calendar, contacts and more) is now available for Android.
This is the first public ownCloud Android app release and it doesn't have to many features yet, but it does have the basics: browse, upload, download and delete files. The application also supports previews for videos and photos but only for those on your device (which you want to upload) and not for those available on the ownCloud server.
Further more, for now the application doesn't support non-standard ports so if you've configured your ownCloud setup to use such a port, you won't be able to use the Android app for now.
Here are a few ownCloud for Android screenshots:

ownCloud is a free software alternative to some proprietary web services and it currently includes file management (with built-in file sharing), music streaming, calendar, contacts and more - all running on your computer or server.
Desktop file syncing is now possible with ownCloud, through Csync and Mirall:
- Csync is a command line synchronization tool that comes with an ownCloud module
- Mirall is a Qt tray sync client that uses Csync and allows you to synchronize data between the local machine and ownCloud.
Both Csync and Mirall are currently in early beta stages. They can already be used to synchronize your ownCloud, but there are some features that don't work yet, like installing ownCloud straight from Mirall.
For now, there's no file manager plugin so you won't be able to see the current file sync status (emblems) or share files via your file manager. But you can do this using the ownCloud web interface.
A first stable Mirall version is expected to be released with ownCloud 4 and it will be targeting Linux, though Windows might be supported too (it's a second priority).
Here's how to set up Mirall with ownCloud synchronization:
