ownCloud becomes part of Kiteworks - ownCloud
owncloud.com
Kiteworks and ownCloud join forces to underscore its commitment to the DACH market.

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

    Fuck me. I switched to owncloud yesterday because I can’t stand nextcloud anymore.

    Owncloud feels lighter, faster, and just works.

    Whhhhhhyyyyyy ?

      I wouldn’t assume that they’ll kill it. It’s entirely possible that they’ll keep moving forward as-is. Just wait and see.

          It’s entirely possible that they’ll shut it down. I’m just saying…chill the fuck out, wait and see what happens before we all start crying.

            Considering that any switch to a new platform takes a lot of effort to carry over everything correctly, people are in the right to worry about the future of a product that has an uncertain future.

      Worst case, it gets forked again.
