ownCloud is a free and open-source software project for content collaboration, file-sharing, and file-syncing. It's usable in distributed and federated enterprise scenarios.[2]

ownCloud supports extensions including Collabora, OnlyOffice, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Online Office, as well as synchronization of calendars and contacts. Most of ownCloud is published under AGPL and GPL licenses, except for some enterprise extensions.

As of late 2023, organizations using ownCloud include CERN,[3] the European Science Cloud,[4] the Bavarian school cloud,[5] and the SCIEBO[6] platform.

History

[edit ]

The ownCloud project was launched in 2010 by Frank Karlitschek,[7] [8] [9] who shortly afterward founded the company of the same name together with Markus Rex and Holger Dyroff. In 2016, ownCloud CTO Karlitschek left the company[10] and founded the fork Nextcloud.[11]

At the end of 2023, ownCloud merged with Kiteworks; however, ownCloud claims its code will remain open-source.[12]

Versions

[edit ]

ownCloud is available in two versions: ownCloud 10, which is built on PHP; and Infinite Scale, which is built on Go.

ownCloud files are stored in conventional directory structures and can be accessed via WebDAV if necessary. User files are encrypted both at rest and during transit. ownCloud can synchronize with local clients running Windows, macOS and various Linux distributions. ownCloud users can manage calendars (CalDAV), contacts (CardDAV), scheduled tasks and streaming media (Ampache) from within the platform. Online document editing is supported via Collabora Online, OnlyOffice, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Office Online.

ownCloud permits user and group administration, via OpenID or LDAP) Content can be shared by granular read/write permissions between users or groups. Alternatively, ownCloud users can create public URLs for sharing files. Furthermore, users can interact with the browser-based ODF-format word processor,[14] bookmarking service, URL shortening suite, gallery, RSS feed reader and document viewer tools from within ownCloud. ownCloud can be augmented with "one-click" applications and connection to Dropbox, Google Drive and Amazon S3.

Enterprise customers have access to apps with additional functionality, which are intended for organizations with more than 500 users. An Enterprise subscription includes support services. Commercial features include end-to-end encryption, ransomware and antivirus protection, branding, document classification, and single sign-on via OpenID.
