'''OwnCloud''' (stylized '''ownCloud''') is a suite of [[Client–server model|client-server software]] for creating [[file hosting service]]s and using them. OwnCloud is functionally very similar to the widely used [[Dropbox (service)|Dropbox]], with the primary functional difference being that OwnCloud is [[free and open-source]], and thereby allowing anyone to install and operate it without charge on a [[private server]]. It also supports extensions that allow it to work like [[Google Drive]], with online document editing, calendar and contact synchronization, and more. Its openness eschews enforced [[Disk quota|quotas]] on storage space or the number of connected clients, instead having hard limits (like on storage space or number of users) defined only by the physical capabilities of the server.

== History ==
[[Frank Karlitschek]], a [[KDE]] software developer, started developing OwnCloud in January 2010, in order to provide a [[free software]] replacement to [[proprietary software|proprietary]] [[storage service provider]]s.

OwnCloud has been integrated with the [[GNOME]] desktop.<ref>{{cite web|title=Integrate ownCloud in GNOME|url=https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointSeven/Features/Owncloud|work=gnome.org|accessdate=1 January 2014}}</ref> Additional projects that use or link to OwnCloud include a [[Raspberry Pi]] project to create a cloud storage system using the Raspberry Pi's small, low-energy form-factor.<ref>{{cite web|title=Raspberry Pi Owncloud (Dropbox Clone)|url=http://raspberrypihelp.net/tutorials/33-raspberry-pi-owncloud|work=raspberrypihelp.net|accessdate=1 January 2014}}</ref>

In April 2016 Karlitschek and many of the top contributors left OwnCloud Inc.<ref>{{cite news

== Overview ==

=== Design ===
In order for desktop machines to synchronize files with their OwnCloud server, desktop clients are available for PCs running [[Windows]], [[OS X]], [[FreeBSD]] or [[Linux]]. Mobile clients exist for [[iOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] devices. Files and other data (such as calendars, contacts or bookmarks) can also be accessed, managed, and uploaded using a web browser without any additional software. Any updates to the file system are pushed to all computers and mobile devices connected to a user's account.

The OwnCloud server is written in the [[PHP]] and [[JavaScript]] [[scripting language]]s. For [[virtual file system|remote access]], it employs [[SabreDAV|sabre/dav]], an open-source [[WebDAV]] server.<ref>{{cite web|title=ownCloud and sabre/dav|url=https://owncloud.org/blog/owncloud-and-sabredav/|work=owncloud.org|accessdate=7 April 2015}}</ref> OwnCloud is designed to work with several [[database management system]]s, including [[SQLite]], [[MariaDB]], [[MySQL]], [[Oracle Database]], and [[PostgreSQL]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://doc.owncloud.org/server/7.0/admin_manual/configuration/database_configuration.html|title=Database Configuration - OwnCloud 7 Server Administration Manual 7.0 documentation}}</ref>

=== Features ===

OwnCloud files are stored in conventional directory structures, and can be accessed via [[WebDAV]] if necessary. User files are encrypted both at rest and during transit. OwnCloud can synchronise with local [[Client (computing)|clients]] running [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] (Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8), [[OS X]] (10.6 or later), or various [[Linux]] distributions.

OwnCloud users can manage calendars ([[CalDAV]]), contacts ([[CardDAV]]) scheduled tasks and streaming media ([[Ampache]]) from within the platform.

From the administration perspective, OwnCloud permits user and group administration (via [[OpenID]] or [[Lightweight Directory Access Protocol|LDAP]]). Content can be shared by defining granular read/write permissions between users and/or groups. Alternatively, OwnCloud users can create public [[URL]]s when sharing files. [[Logfile|Logging]] of file-related actions is available in the Enterprise and Education service offerings.<ref>{{cite web|title=ownCloud Server or Enterprise Edition|url=https://owncloud.com/community-or-enterprise/|website=owncloud.com}}</ref>

Furthermore, users can interact with the browser-based [[text editor]], [[Bookmark (World Wide Web)|bookmarking]] service, [[URL shortening]] suite, gallery, [[RSS]] feed reader and document viewer tools from within OwnCloud. For additional extensibility, OwnCloud can be augmented with "one-click" applications and connection to [[Dropbox (service)|Dropbox]], [[Google Drive]] and [[Amazon S3]].
