Your file platform — the most essential business tool for enterprise-grade file sync
ownCloud is an open-source file sync, share and content collaboration platform that lets teams work on data from anywhere on any device.

Integrations cover Collabora Online, ONLYOFFICE, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft Office Online Server, alongside LDAP, WebDAV, and external storage such as S3, Dropbox, and SharePoint. Security features include multi-factor authentication, encryption, auditing, file lifecycle management, and document classification. Clients are available for web, desktop, Android, and iOS, and an oC Marketplace offers extensions including AI summarizers, taggers, and a sensitive-data scanner.
