ownCloud, the popular open source
enterprise file sync and share project, will be available on Fedora 18,
completing an impressive list of other important Linux distributions.
The developers of ownCloud think that Ubuntu, Fedora, and SUSE will have a better way of securing, syncing, and sharing their data across platforms.
“The
(Fedora) Engineering Steering Committee has also signed off … a plan to
add the client and server software for the ownCloud cloud platform;
this allows users to host and access files and personal data, such as
addresses and calendar entries, from a range of devices.”
ownCloud
4 can now mount external files systems, including Dropbox, FTP and
Google Drive, enabling users to have all their file sync and share tools
in a single ownCloud interface.
The community edition of ownCloud now has over 450,000 users, and it’s open source.
ownCloud has announced on June 28th that
the latest ownCloud 2012 Business and Enterprise editions feature
enhanced LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) integration, as
well as themeing and system logging.
Based on ownCloud 4, the latest commercial update of ownCloud adds the following new features:

· Support for plug-ins;
· ownCloud app store integration;

"With more and more workers
bringing their own devices to work – and then using made-for-consumer
offerings to enhance their productivity – businesses need to maintain
the security of their data."
"The updates launched today
enable IT to seamlessly integrate ownCloud into their current
infrastructure while giving end users a tool they will want to use," said Markus Rex, CEO, ownCloud in the press release.
