Thank you for packaging this useful-sounding work.

Please re-write the synopsis to conform to the best practices in the
Developer's Reference, §6.2.2.

It should (as per §6.2.2) be a phrase which works to replace
‘<synopsis>’ in a sentence of the form:

    The package <name> provides {a,an,the,some} <synopsis>.

It should also give information about what the package is among all the
other thousands of Debian packages; the above is succinct but not, IMO,
very informative. Using “your” also doesn't help to know who “you” is.

My suggestion:

    web application for universal access to personal files and data
