OpenCloud
Open-source file sharing and collaboration platform built on ownCloud Infinite Scale
Overview
OpenCloud is a modern file sharing and collaboration platform forked from ownCloud Infinite Scale, written as microservices in Go with a Vue.js frontend. It offers file sync, sharing with fine-grained permissions, WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV, Spaces (team drives), and a plugin ecosystem. The platform is designed for horizontal scalability and uses S3-compatible object storage as backend.
Where it falls short of Dropbox
- Built-in office document co-editing requires a separately deployed Collabora or ONLYOFFICE instance
- Mobile clients still maturing compared to Dropbox or Google Drive polish
- Admin complexity is higher than simpler alternatives; microservices require more ops knowledge
- Third-party integrations (Google Workspace-style apps) are limited
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
