A bit of a kerfuffle this week in the media captured well here by Swapnil. Let’s be clear, this was not a disagreement between ownCloud and Canonical, but instead a reflection of the shifting application model on open source and beyond. Lukas captures it well here.
Bottom line is Canonical and ownCloud want the best, most secure experience for our users and we are working hard to get there.
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.
The new ownCloud Marketplace is live. 13 Web Extensions, 42 apps, 324 releases, 36 publishers and counting. Zero backend. Zero database. Zero server-side processing. The Git repository is the source of truth. The catalogue is static JSON. Publishing an app is a pull request. Git is the app store.
Secure View lets you share important data with anyone via the browser, even if they’re not fully trusted. How does it work?
