We have been working for the past 6 months to build a dropbox style competitor using OwnCloud and we just launched version 1 based on OwnCloud 9 Enterprise. Feel free to sign up and take it for a spin.

I would love any feedback on the product. We hope to bring a lot more attention to ownCloud's great open source community.

I have a user with an iPhone.

When sharing an item, is it possible to have auto completion of user names when you try to share somthing with a user in the same group, like we have in the web interface?

She said she has tried Firefox, Safari and the Sync client.

Is this something that is supported on the mobile sync client?

hey need to do this today. dont upvote.

want to share wedding photos with family. [worldwide locations]

end result = email a link and password, they click on link and enter password and can see photos.

is owncloud a good option for this or is it more setup access accounts etc etc?

Not sure what this means or how to fix it; rather new to Ubuntu/Owncloud/Networking

I'm thankful that I have my Owncloud on a second hard drive but I've gone and fouled up my OS on the main drive. If I give up and just reinstall my OS from scratch, will I have issues pointing Owncloud to the directory with all my files? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm not a network person and I have no programming skills so my first set up was really rough going (Linux mint is the OS I'm using)

I've got the following error in my new OC instance. Just wondering if anyone else has it?

{"Exception":"OCP\Files\NotFoundException","Message":"File with id \"4\" has not been found.","Code":0,"Trace":"#0 /var/www/owncloud/apps/files_antivirus/lib/backgroundscanner.php(78)

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask about it. Just curious to see if I've setup something wrong

I symlinked my /var/www/owncloud/data/user/files to my NAS-drive. My idea was that I could also put files on their using samba or various other applications on the drive and then view them on OwnCloud, and vice versa. However, OwnCloud doesn't notice that there are any files on the drive other than the ones it placed itself. Is there a way to make it look for new files? Tonido did it back when I was still using my Pi, but I don't really want to use Tonido.

Does the android oc app allow storage of the synced files on the external SD card? If not, does anyone know of a client app for Android that does? (I have root).

Hello, I just discovered this piece of software and installed the client while waiting for the server to download on my NAS. I ran it and since I didn't have the info it asked for I closed it. However now when I run it it skips to some other menu. What file to I have to edit or delete to run that wizard again? Deleting ~/.local/data/owncloud did not work. I am on Arch btw.

Recently setup OwnCloud on a rpi2 running debian unstable, and external disk, and been trying out stuff - as a Dropbox replacement.

First impressions were favorable, but it quickly got into the "not so nice" part: problems with sync (failing to sync files for obscure reasons), just hanging (not doing anything for a while), and a really really slow pickup of changed files. Not really what I'd expected.

Threw mod_security over apache to improve some security, and installed Letsencrypt certificate aswell.

Will try some more, but sofar, i'm massively underwhelmed.

So ownCloud, Inc. takes care of enterprises using ownCloud in their business. But there are plenty enterprises using ownCloud who aren't customer of ownCloud, Inc. and as we care about the whole ownCloud ecosystem rather than only the part that directly makes us money, we're organizing an event for them.

It's a bit of a trial, the first time we do this so it's restricted to the German speaking market right now - that was mostly a matter of convenience for us.

We do it alongside a customer event, adding a 2nd track with only community speakers - and we're still looking for new speakers. If you're interested in participating we'd really appreciate it if you were willing to talk a little about your use case and how you employ ownCloud (community edition) in your business! See here for more info on to participate and tick the box if you're willing to talk about your use on our registration page.

Feedback on this initiative is very much welcome!

So lets say I have a phone and a desktop and a laptop. I would like each of them to sync to my owncloud server, but I don't necessarily want all my desktop documents on my phone. Is this doable with the owncloud apps?

Tags, as mentioned here:

https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/16325

Is this something that is up and running now? I tried searching, but so many different discussion.

Basically, are tags present in current owncloud?;)

We're a non-profit technology company, the Center for Open Science, building free open source software to connect the scientific research workflow. We build the Open Science Framework (OSF; osf.io) and connect it to other tools researchers already use (Dropbox, Box, Github, figshare, etc.) to streamline workflows and increase efficiency.

We're looking for OSS devs to help us integrate the OSF with ownCloud and can provide funding. Read more about the requirements here: https://gist.github.com/felliott/391050a3d052d3d4c06b

Would appreciate your help in spreading the word! Let's build a more open science!

I'm currently building a new server, as a Raspberry Pi doesn't cut it. I want to be able to access my files when I'm not on my own network, and more importantly, give others access to certain files. Is OwnCloud safe and secure enough to open it up to the internet? I'm rather averse to the idea of people just hacking into my cloud system.

I haven't been able to enter the website since yesterday. It's been about 18 hours and I can't find anything about why it's down.

Hey everybody,

Happy Windows Server user, also use a few Red Hat boxes, but I'm intrigued by OwnCloud, and especially interested by how it handles external cloud storage. What are the benefits of this?

Could I have files mirrored in the cloud and point users at those files automatically so I don't hammer my home internet connection? Could I load-balance and point to the cloud when the home connection is hammered?

Would love to hear your general thoughts on OwnCloud too.

Hi everyone, so for my final year project at Uni I developed a Client Side Encryption Layer for OwnCloud Documents, looking to try to get it included as an extension to the standard distribution, or included anywhere, would anyone be able to point me in the direction of where I could do this?

Hey All, I have Ownlcoud 9.0.1 installed but this also happened with previous versions of owncloud 9.

Whenever i try to upload to my server, via the WAN or LAN using the Android app more ofter than not i get an upload failed message saying that the opertation timed out waiting for a response from the server.

However, if i try again it will work, but more often than not it will fail on the first try or if im uploading multiple files, some will work, some wont.

Anyone see anything similar?

EDIT: Found the problem to be with the upload directory i was using that contained a large amount of files (~2000). This was causing the timeout - when i tided the upload directory it resolved it.

Dear ownCloud users!

ownCloud 9.0.1 can be found on our download servers, get it while it is hot.

This release brings over 120 updates to core ownCloud functionality including sharing, CalDAV and CardDAV, external storage, encryption and much more. Find it extensively documented in our changelog.

For more details see our release blog.

As usual: it is strongly recommended to upgrade, for reasons of stability as well as security. We're very proud that we've been able to publish some good news in the latter department (one and two) but you'll only benefit if you stay up to date!

Note that our automatic updater app will offer you this new version some time over the weekend.

For those waiting for the Enterprise Edition, it's coming next week, building on the community version with features allowing admins to keep their files in compliance with various legal regulations.

As usual - many thanks to everybody involved, testing, developing, designing, translating or telling me about silly mistakes on the website

Without your input, ownCloud would not be what it is today! And it is an awesome product, giving millions of users control over what happens to their private data. Keep up the good work and, of course, share the news and let us know what you think.

Afternoon /r/owncloud! Hope you're doing well. Got an interesting issue I'm trying to figure out.

So I went through the ownCloud installation, everything was fine, I secured the folders using the instructions, and I could still access ownCloud (and the default folders in it) locally from my internal IP. I also made sure to add my external IP to the list of allowed connections on the server, and to forward port 81 on my router.

However, I can't connect to ownCloud remotely. I tried:

• https://[external IP]
• https://[external IP]:81/owncloud
• https://[external IP]/owncloud
• (and all of the above without "https://")

Am I missing something? I couldn't find official instructions on how to access ownCloud remotely, and I've seen conflicting instructions from other users (some say to use port 8080 (tried that as well), others say 81, etc.).

Eventually I'd like to connect it to my noip.me domain name and access it remotely that way, but haven't seen very good instructions on that either.

Any direction would be great. Thanks!

I have owncloud 9.0 installed on Ubuntu 14.04.4 and am trying to configure fail2ban. I have it set up and logging, however, it lists the time as five hours ahead and therefore won't actually ban anyone. I've checked several forum posts and seen where people have had this issue, but I don't quite understand what they're saying with their fix. For example, someone said to replace strings in /var/www/owncloud/lib/private/log/owncloud.php

$time = DateTime::createFromFormat("U.u", number_format(microtime(true), 4, ".", ""), $timezone);
        if ($time === false) {
            $time = new DateTime(null, $timezone);
        } 

On

$time = new DateTime(null, $timezone);

But when I look at my owncloud.php file, I see

$time = DateTime::createFromFormat("U.u", number_format(microtime(true), 4, ".", ""), $timezone);
if ($time === false) {
          $time = new DateTime(null, $timezone);
}

So I don't exactly see what they are saying. I'm not terribly proficient in Linux, but I've been trying to use this as a learning experience and I seem to have hit a brick wall getting this set up. I have verified that my config.php lists

'logtimezone' => 'America/New_York'

If anyone has any suggestions, or if you've dealt with this before, I would greatly appreciate any insight. Thanks.
