ownCloud Web

With ownCloud Web you can manage your ownCloud in your browser.

ownCloud Web is a single page, standalone frontend, based on modern web technologies. It brings new features as well as improved user flows and can be deployed independent of the backend server.

Compatiblity

Usage of Web UI and ownCloud 10 as backend is not recommended starting with version 7.1.0 of the Web UI, meaning newer versions only support ownCloud Infinite Scale. If you want to use the Web UI with ownCloud 10, please use App version 7.0.2. Critical bugs can be fixed upon request.

Examples

Here are some examples of what you can do with ownCloud Web:

• 🗂 Files: Upload, download, search and manage files (as you may know it for example from Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive etc.).
• 👥 Share: Allow fine-grained access to files and whole folders directly with other users on your ownCloud.
• 🔗 Links: Create links and share them with anyone in the world - optional password-protection available.
• 📝 Write: Edit your documents with the editor of your choice like ONLYOFFICE, Collabora or Microsoft Word and more.
• 🤝 Collaborate in real-time on documents.
• 🚀 Spaces: You have to manage important projects? Let Spaces, the new special folders, keep order.
• ◀️ Versioning Saved the wrong version? We have the time machine you were looking for! Easily go back in time and restore older versions of your files.
• 📥 Drop-folders: Collect files from other people in one folder via a simple link, ex. homework from pupils or photos from your family - optional password-protection available.
• 🔒 Privacy first: ownCloud Web is GDPR compliant and can both be used completely internally or together with external people. It also will never "phone home".
• 🛡 Secure: ownCloud Web is an open source project which means that you can track every action, update and dependency of the software.
