Last week I attended the New York Linux User Group meeting in Manhattan. What a great meeting! Over 200 people attended the event, people who use and love ownCloud.
While I was there I gave a talk about upcoming ownCloud features and Federated Cloud Sharing. The feedback was excellent, which just further confirms my belief that ownCloud 9, due to be released soon, is going to be our best release yet!
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?
