Important
The owncloud/web repository has been merged into owncloud/ocis as part of our ongoing consolidation into a single oCIS monorepo. All future development, issues, and pull requests for the web frontend now happen there.
ownCloud Web is the next-generation frontend for ownCloud Infinite Scale, built as a single-page application with Vue.js and TypeScript. It provides a modern, accessible and themeable user interface for managing files, sharing, real-time collaboration and administration -- designed to be extensible through a plugin-based architecture that allows third-party developers to build custom apps and extensions.
ownCloud Web is the primary frontend for ownCloud Infinite Scale (oCIS). Starting with version 7.1.0, the Web UI supports only oCIS as a backend (for ownCloud 10 compatibility, use version 7.0.2).
ownCloud Web is available on Docker Hub.
Live Demo: https://demo.owncloud.com/
Set up a local development environment for ownCloud Web:
- Node.js (LTS recommended)
- pnpm
- Docker Compose (for backend)
For the complete development setup, see the setup guide.
The packages directory contains the core modules:
- client -- Generated TypeScript client for the oCIS Graph API
- container -- Static assets and base files
- extension-sdk -- Utilities for developing custom extensions
- pkg -- Shared logic used across the codebase
- runtime -- Authentication, routing, theming and application handling
Built-in apps (also in packages):
- files -- Core file sync-and-share functionality

For questions about the OSPO or licensing, contact ospo@kiteworks.com.
The OSPO is driving a strategic relicensing of ownCloud repositories toward the Apache License 2.0, following the Apache Software Foundation's third-party license policy.
Individual repositories will migrate as their audit is completed. The LICENSE file in each repo reflects its current license status (not the target).
Current license: AGPL-3.0 (Category X per Apache policy -- cannot be included in Apache-2.0 works).
Migration prerequisites for this repository:
- CLA/DCO coverage: All past contributors must have signed agreements permitting relicensing
- Copyleft dependency audit: All AGPL/GPL dependencies must be replaced or isolated
- KDE heritage review: Any code with KDE-era copyrights requires legal analysis
- Complete relicensing: AGPL-3.0 is a strong copyleft license; migration requires full relicensing of all files, not just a header change
