save to dropbox
Would like to be able to save to dropbox. Google drive is nice but Still dropbox is more popular, I think. It has an API so should be possible to add. I don't want to use different online drives for ever (I do it now: Google drive, SkyDrive, Dropbox and even owncloud) but in the long rund I'd love to decide and then have maps and other documents in one place only.
dropbox integration is now available as an extension at http://www.mindmup.com – I’ll publish some documentation about it next week but it should be pretty intuitive as it is.

Thum - there is a separate item for owncloud, please vote on that, this will make us do it sooner. we generally tend to work on items that pop up to the top of the list

OwnCloud/MindMup, would like to see/use them together too.

We would really like to test this in our consulting business however, due to some recent corporate policy changes, we are moving right away from third-party hosting providers (*cough* especially Google!) .......therefore we would be extremely happy to see OwnCloud API integration (or if not, then just a robust method for secure offline usage)....basically we don't want our corporate IP or CI being sent to the mother ship

I have experimented little with the dropbox JS API and it is really simple to read/save files so it should be little work (provided how much MindMup needs itself). This page: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-js/blob/stable/guides/getting_started.md has all the code needed.
BTW I have asked about support for being able to share only a selected file/folder with MindMup. It is neither possible nor planned but they will maybe add consider it - see https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=104251&replies=3#post-561959
