Decrypt your data again
-----------------------
Corrently there is no way to decrypt your files directly on the server if you decide to stop
using the encryption app. The only way to get a comlete copy of your unencrypted data is
to download/sync all files as long as the encryption app is enabled. After the encryption
app was disabled you can upload your unencrypted data again.
If the encryption app was disabled every user can decrypt his files again in
his personal settings. After this was done he can continue to use his ownCloud
without encryption.
It is already planned to add a option to switch from encrypted to unencrypted files
directly on the server.
