Today is yet another exciting day for me as CEO of ownCloud. Today, ownCloud co-founder and a personal dear friend joins the company. Long time open source expert Holger Dyroff officially joins the company as vice president of Sales and Marketing.

With Holger joining, not only has a great weight been lifted off my shoulders (you would not BELIEVE how many sales and partner inquires I am still getting), but I get the direct, salient, experienced counsel you can only get from someone of Holger’s caliber. Holger has the sales, partner, marketing and general manager chops to accelerate our growth and manage that growth.

Welcome Holger, now get to work! 😉

A meaningful compliance tool, not just a convenience feature.

ownCloud Infinite Scale 8.1.0: MFA-Gated Vault Storage Arrives

Jul 7, 2026

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.
