Kiteworks acquires ownCloud & Dracoon - Nextcloud
nextcloud.com
Today, US based file sync & share vendor Kiteworks announced their acquisition of ownCloud and Dracoon. Nextcloud offers a free hands on migration service and takes over the remaining runtime of the contracts. Migration is a very quick and easy process, as shown by the many hundreds that have done this already over the last years.

    As long as they continue to maintain the github repository and keep it free without any hidden ads/spyware or restrictions, I will continue to use their service.

    A once useful software friendly to the open source/home lab community that got lured off trying to chase the fabled enterprise customer’s riches, only to collapse under their own hubris. Always sad to see it happen.

    Perhaps not a great surprise? Both ownCloud and Nextcloud have catered more and more to enterprise clients so it might be expected that an enterprise cloud provider would be interested in acquiring one or other. Apparently ownCloud software will remain licensed under an Apache license but it still sounds ominous.

    Thats a very biased article to link, coming from the main owncloud competitor.

    But we did have the owncloud annoucement as a post some time ago, so maybe thats fine.
