ownCloud X marks a new ownCloud generation with a strong focus on security, performance and productivity. Based on discussions with end users, admins and business owners we are improving ownCloud – now with:
Extended Security
We have implemented several new security features. File integrity checks prevent data losses while up- and downloading via verification of the integrity of up- and downloaded files by comparing their unique checksums.
The ability to split app logs and owncloud.log makes finding errors easier. Also user management gives you better options on keeping control over your data, next to regular maintenance and security updates after business standards.
Extended Collaboration
Several new features are also making collaboration with your friends and/or coworkers easier; you can now create guest accounts and custom groups to arrange teams as you need them, and multiple link sharing (with different passwords and expiry dates, for example) to further specify who you want to know what.
This is making ownCloud a powerful tool for teamwork in any environment, for a startup or larger company, for activists, for a family sharing the pictures of the last holidays, for your clique to make plans about the future.
Extended Performance
We improved the performance of ownCloud in all of the key areas, especially at the database. By providing a central user table for everything the performance-heavy queries are significantly reduced. Additionally we are now supporting PHP 7.1 and Redis clusters.
Extended Marketplace
On top of that, ownCloud is on the next step to become a more diverse platform with infinite possibilities; we are introducing our new marketplace!
You can develop apps for the Marketplace and use the apps created by other ownCloud users, which further extend the usage possibilities of ownCloud. For a full explanation of how the marketplace is a big step towards ownCloud replacing the googleverse, look here.
These are the biggest steps forward – for the details what exactly has changed, look at our changelog.
