Why Hybrid Cloud? Why Now? Join our Webinar Tuesday

Join ESG Senior Analyst Terri McClure and ownCloud’s Matt Richards tomorrow at noon ET as they share critical data driving the shift to a hybrid model.

Hybrid clouds offer organizations the control, security and flexibility required to integrate existing infrastructure investments and still preserve sensitive data. Join ESG Senior Analyst Terri McClure and ownCloud’s Matt Richards tomorrow at noon ET as they share critical data driving the shift to a hybrid model.

Three Trends Driving Hybrid Cloud File Sharing, is part of a series educating organizations on how to protect and maintain control of their data.

“We are seeing significant pent up demand for online file sharing solutions that allow users to store some or all of their data on premises,” said McClure. “There are a number of drivers behind this demand. In addition to security concerns organizations express when it comes to storing data in the cloud, they also want to have control over where they store their data, and the ability leverage existing IT investments.”

A recent survey conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group, Inc. found:

  • Adoption of corporate file sharing is on the rise, with 42% of companies currently using solutions
  • 90% of current and potential OFS (Online File Sharing) users prohibit some type of data from being stored in the public cloud
  • Accordingly, 69% of organizations already using cloud-based solutions state they are extremely interested in file sync and share with on-premises storage

Two codebases just became one. The ownCloud Web frontend now lives inside owncloud/ocis under web/, all under Apache-2.0. One repository, one licence, one CI pipeline, one contribution surface. Years of contribution history preserved, everything moved into a single home. This is what the OSPO relicensing programme looks like when it reaches the core product.

Alt Text for Every Image. No Manual Work. No Excuses.

Alt Text for Every Image. No Manual Work. No Excuses.

Missing alt text is one of the most commonly flagged WCAG failures. EN 301 549 mandates it for public sector ICT across Europe. As of today, oCIS ships an extension that generates a credible first draft with your configured vision LLM, lets the user edit it, and writes it back to the file as a WebDAV property that survives the session. A meaningful compliance tool, not just a convenience feature.

ownCloud Infinite Scale 8.1.0: MFA-Gated Vault Storage Arrives

oCIS 8.1.0 introduces MFA-gated vault storage as an isolated storage plane: its own provider ID, no public or federated sharing path, MFA propagated end to end, and a UI that makes the distinction obvious. Plus a public-share access control fix and roughly 60 other changes across indexing, LDAP, and connection recovery.
