Development comparison between next- and owncloud

Hi,

I was just wondering whether there is information on how the current development of the two best clouds out there is advancing.

Weā€™re having a discussion about if and when to migrate to nextcloud, the ā€œletsā€™ just stick to owncloud atmā€-fraction is leading right now and Iā€™d like to change that with some further informationā€¦

Any hints?

Cheers!

Great, that was fast. :slight_smile:

NC started to rewrite the commercial app for the open source version (file firewall, ā€¦). NC11 resp. OC 9.2 are more interesting because they donā€™t share the development cycle. NC11 announced their own app store and an improved updater app. There are clear situations when to favor OC or NC:

  • if you need to use (or want to develop your own) closed-source apps for your cloud, OC enterprise is the way to go
  • you want to use the open source version but you need the functionality of OCā€™s enterprise apps (file firewall, logging module, file drop, Shibboleth, automated tagging, ā€¦), go for Nextcloud

NC can port new functions of the open source OC into their own code. The other way round is not possible. A consequence could be that new OC functions will be only available in the enterprise version.
