It’s official, I have decided to join my partners Markus Rex and Frank Karlitschek, at ownCloud as vice president sales & marketing.

Why?

Frankly, for the same reason Frank built ownCloud – to help fill the need for a secure, inexpensive cloud storage solution for enterprises. Right now, enterprises have to choose between too restrictive or not secure. They are locked into technologies that house their data and pay through the nose for the privilege of housing their data in a non-secure way in a potentially non-controllable location.

We’re going to change that (I say “going to” but the revolution is already happening). We are going to give enterprises unprecedented flexibility in storing, synching and sharing their data. We’re going to give them unprecedented data security while giving end-users maximum access and ease of use. And we’re going to make this all possible at prices that will make CFOs smile.

I love ownCloud, and just yesterday I had several very excited partners on the phone, willing to drive this runway with us!

Follow us here and watch as the revolution happens.

ownCloud Web and oCIS Are Now One Codebase. All Apache-2.0.

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.
