ownCloud becomes part of Kiteworks - Feddit.it

I guess that means it’s dead, as there’s no way a corporation would pay millions to acquire a competitor just to continue developing a free alternative to their own product

Hummm… This kinda sucks ! Moving to seafile then ! Hope their native apps are as good as owncloud’s !

Why not nextcloud? Seafile files stores in a proprietary database

I used nextcloud for a year or so, but found the web GUI/apps slow, bloated and sometimes way to buggy ! Switch to owncloud for the simplicity of only having a cloud system without to much bloat.

I just read through the seafile documentation and yeah this is also not going to happen. Maybe I should switch to a simple webdav server…

Couldn’t you just install nextcloud and none of the apps you don’t need? I mean, it’s pretty modular…

How was it setup? Make sure you are using a good SQL backend or else it will be slow.

Its also received a bunch of live recently so it may be worth another look. I would be very careful trusting seafile as it sounds like a locked down proprietary solution
