ownCloud

Must have. Has some minor issues here and there (e.g. sometimes folders update "under your fingers" while you open them and you end up tapping on a different file or folder than the one you meant). The search functionality needs some major rework, however, it's almost useless (searches only current folder). Apart from this, works very well

The app has become useless lately. After the changes on security, there is no way to access any of my files (mostly pdf) stored in owncloud. There is no preview inside the app, it does not allow any other app to open the files, exporting of files is not allowed. Plus, the app does not allow me to add/upload new files locally stored on the phone. I have checked the permissions of the app, there are no options there. I am thinking that all I can do with owncloud app at this time is to simply browse the folders and the filenames of my files, which is rather useless! Please, find a way to fix this. Thanks!

The latest update broke the ability to edit text files and keep them synced. Please fix this. I'll happily edit my review when it's fixed. Edit: The text file editing issue has been fixed. I'm updating my review as promised. The app is great and I use it daily.

The app itself works as it should BUT because I have my pictures in different folders on my phone, I would have liked to have chosen all the folders that I wish to upload and not just one and only one folder with pictures in.

I love Owncloud but the app doesn't work reliably. I saw this morning that my photos haven't synced in 5 days. Seems okay for accessing your Owncloud but might want to look at 3rd party for reliable sync.

It's very good app for the moment 1+ and hope that the technical team continue to do more graphic improvement i really love it all the best i wish the management more improvement in the lacking areas but has for me 1+Keep it up don't giveup Blessé UP to the managemen

Broken thumbnails, broken navigation in folders with square bracets, and now it is impossible to clean up downloaded files. I can delete cache, I can delete settings, but I can't free some space on my device. Not to mention inability to use files with external apps in the usual way. When I set up OC server, it gives me some freedom. Client apps like this or purged old linux version - don't. Upd. I can't even save file from OC on my device. Looks like I should just downgrade to previous version.

Works great. Only problem I've got is it doesn't search recursively inside folders. It does only on opened folder and files within Please can you fix this. I've got 300 users that are desperate to have this

It's severely incomplete. Does not add anything at all to what you can get via mobile browser, by accessing your OwnCloud via web. Does not provide Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Bookmarks, or access to any other feature of Data (like mounting storage). Essentially a waste of space. If you add Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Bookmarks, Activities........ maybe I'd download it again.

Works as intended. I made my own private server with a Raspberry Pi a week ago and so far I haven't had any issues. The only two things missing are: 1) Proper automatic background uploads. I have to open the app for the photos to be uploaded "automatically", which misses the point a little. 2) I want to automatically sync multiple folders, not just one camera folder, but that's not an option either.

Waste of time. Use Folder Sync app instead. This app can't sync photos from more than 1 folder. Can't set up folder to folder sync operations. It syncs photos from 1 folder as long as you don't lose network connection. if you do, it won't sync the pictures that are taken while the phone is off the network. They have a long way to go to make this app useable. However, I did find the Folder Sync app will sync with ownCloud. Much more flexibility and reliability.

The app works fine as far as connecting to my ownCloud is concerned, however... I particularly liked the option of automatically backing up my photos from my phone to my server. I thought that I would set it up to back up over WiFi and when I connect to WiFi, the app will automatically upload all new pics to the server. It can't be further from the truth. The app does not do anything automatically. When I'm not on the WiFi when the pic is taken, it hangs in the queue and is not uploaded when I connect. When I start the queue manually, the app crashes randomly, so some pics get uploaded, others not. It is extremely buggy and does not serve the purpose of fully automatic backup that I do not have to take care about. Pitty.

This app is so bad that I am finally giving up and removing both the app and the owncloud server I've been running for years. This app has one thing to do, compare notes with the server and upload/download the files accordingly. Nobody knows what it does really, it crashes all the time, uploads don't complete, unreliable and therefore useless. Goodbye.

Owncloud on Android isn't bad, but could be better. I have a self-hosted OwnCloud server and so far (about a hour) I love it! I am able to log in on the web app, upload and download files, and do everything I'd expect. The Android app was able to connect and see my files with no issue. I was also able to upload, download, and delete files and all changes were shown immediately. My only complaint is with synching. There isn't a way to auto sync old files. The file sync or backup works for anything added since I installed the app on my phone, but old files were not automatically backed up. I think many would appreciate the ability to do incremental backups to sync any files that were changed or are yet to be uploaded from the monitored folder. I only care because this is a paid app and (so far) this is my only gripe. Adding a way to sync existing files would make my life complete.

Having tried both nextcloud and owncloud apps I have to say this one is a little lacking in features. While some features are really unnecessary what I would like to see is automatic backup of photos and folders. At the moment the app seems to update photos only if I'm in the app for a while and I've no idea how to go about folder backup from the phone. Some menus could maybe be a bit more intuitive as well.

Flawless integration, haven't come across any bugs so far. The UX is sometimes a bit clunky and some features that are available through the web UI are missing, but only management stuff. Only thing I really miss compared to other cloud software is the ability to add files to my homescreen, as soon as that's possible I'll give this app five stars.

It froze with the popup asking for rating. Could not postpone, rate, or ignore. Consequently I could no longer enter the app. Update: reinstalled. There must be something with the samsung s9, the screen is not responsive below the first entry, it's like not registering any touch input. Unworkable as it is with samsung s9. Update: conflicting application blocking the feedback layer. Works fine now.

Pretty poor experience. Can't connect within home Wi-Fi and I've been searching all over the Internet for a solution and noticed there are plenty of users with similar problems. Unfortunately I'm wasting more time trying to make this work than actually using it. They claim the issue might be the router but I've been using Synology and others solutions without this issue. Now, I'm thankfull for it as its a free alternative, but, an average user will not get this to work and its buggy. Thanks

I've tried this app on two Android phones and it has fairly poor functionality and limited settings. The auto upload function works intermittently at best and only for photos/videos. When files are uploaded the "date modified" is changed, so photos and files will be out of order if you sort by date. You can't sort by date taken/created for some reason either. It also uploads multiple copies of some pictures (3 copies sometimes). There is also no dark mode but there is on the IOS app.

I now have it running on a Raspberry pi which works much better than the Windows version I used for several years. Instant Upload used to work on our Android phones but not any more. We now have to manually upload. However with a 128 gig sd card we can store an enormous amount of stuff including videos, documents, scanned books, and use it to send large documents too large to send by email. We have all this stuff divided up into several sub directories. All of our PCs connected to it get copies.

Great App (and server platform) but still needs work. App requires "retry" continually when uploads of pictures and videos fail (due to leaving wifi, and returning to wifi; it should auto resume!) Don't need to be notified unless it's a permanent failure. Also, option for two way sync or not would be helpful on that. - Love the app, and server, love having my own data storage privately! Great job everyone, keep it up!

Half-baked sync. Disappointed. Only syncs the camera folder. Doesn't sync pre-existing files. Choked when I selected a large number of files for upload. Doesn't retry uploads (you have to do it manually). Doesn't let restrict sync to a specific wifi name or to avoid metered wifis. The app/project Syncthing fulfilled all my expectations, so I migrated to it.

Works well, but fairly basic functionality. Exclusion filters and ability to backup any folder (not just photos and videos) would improve the app.

I've expected much more after using ownCloud apps for desktops. Why I cannot synchronize all documents from chosen folder but only pictures and videos? My main goal was to synchronize folder with PDF files to automatically upload/synchronize my notes and annotations made in PDFs on tablet. Unfortunately this app is not able to provide me with such a simple functionality like synchronizing one single folder with any files. It also does not have such a nice integration to Android like other clouds "Dropbox", "OneDrive" "GoogleDrive" and so on. Looking into comments below there are pointless answers from ownCloud to contact them with promise of making app better. It seems that nothing was done with it. Questions about synchronizing something else then pictures/videos was posted like 2 year ago.

Cant upload multiple photos at once (7000 photos)... beats the purpose of the software. Gallery sorts photos from oldest to newest and you can't change it.

Quite disappointing in the software for something one has to purchase . Very basic configurations that don't allow you to specify folders you would like to sync. Plus wont sync images and videos you have already taken. No dark more, no bells or whistles. I really expected more from owncloud considering its fork nextcloud. Perhaps developers are too enamored with enterprise has allowed open source to flonder. I would like a refund on the app, a dollar not well spent.

Completely broken now that my files aren't accessible by other apps. Whose brilliant idea was it to completely break this app? Please revert.
