About this app

Welcome to the ownCloud Android App – Add an ownCloud server, and have your private file sync and share cloud up and running in no time.

Do you need private file sync and share software? Then good news, because the ownCloud Android App enables you to connect Android devices to a private ownCloud Server running in your data center. ownCloud is open source file sync and share software for everyone from individuals operating the free ownCloud server, to large enterprises and service providers operating under the ownCloud Enterprise Subscription. ownCloud provides a safe, secure and compliant file sync and share solution – on servers you control.

With the ownCloud Android App you can browse all of your ownCloud synced files, create and edit new files, share these files and folders with co-workers, and keep the contents of those folders in sync across all of your devices. Simply copy a file into a directory on your server and ownCloud does the rest.

Whether using a mobile device, a desktop, or the web client, ownCloud provides the ability to put the right files in the right hands at the right time on any device in one simple-to-use, secure, private and controlled solution. After all, with ownCloud, it’s Your Cloud, Your Data, Your Way.

Should you have any problem connecting or synchronizing with your ownCloud server, please contact us on https://github.com/owncloud/android/issues or check https://central.owncloud.org.

Ratings and reviews

Nice app. Only thing I can wish for is a better Auto Picture upload mechanism. Sometimes, the pictures I take with the phone, are not synced for minutes and there's no way to trigger the sync. So I'm just stuck, waiting for it to eventually do it in the background. Would be nice if it would check for new pictures on the phone when pulling down (refreshing) in the main view.

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.

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.
