ownCloud Inc. was proud to announce the release and general availability of new versions for its ownCloud Desktop and ownCloud Android clients.
Looking at the release notes for both clients, it would appear that the ownCloud developers managed to implement a great number of features. For example, the ownCloud Desktop client now works a lot better on HiDPI displays, offers improvements for RTL languages, and brings in better syncing.
The recent agreement between the US and the EU is the third attempt to secure the transfer of personal data from Europe to the US. Holger Dyroff, co-founder and COO of ownCloud, does not see the new regulatory attempt as a satisfactory solution.
In a position paper, Germany’s top data protection officials outline how they envision sovereign clouds. Their demands are welcome, but do not go far enough, laments Holger Dyroff, Co-Founder and COO of ownCloud.
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) might be exhausting, but it is a success story. The European Commission should use the fifth anniversary of the GDPR to reconsider “Privacy Shield 2.0”, opines Holger Dyroff, Co-Founder and COO of ownCloud.
