Uploading photos problem
No way to select all photos to upload. I have to select one at a time manually.
Can’t upload files from the files app
Unable to open any files, shows 0 bytes when attempting to upload.

Hello. We just released a complete rewrite of the app. It works a lot better than the old app and is for free! You can get it here: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1359583808 ^el
Great Product
Love your product and have enjoyed sharing files. Are you able to add a search feature when you create a public link or have an entire ownCloud as public?

Total garbage
I can connect to my owncloud from safari on ios but this app keeps telling me “not found” when i use the app. Total garbage. I am asking for a refund. Stay away and save a $1.

No Search Functionality
After looking to get off google drive, I have transitioned all my file storage to OwnCloud. After being satisfied with the web interface, I decided to fork over the money for the app, assuming the stock features would be in the app as well.
I was wrong
Global, or even folder level search is missing. Upon finding the TestFlight version, I am finding the same
It is extremely disappointing to see such a basic feature missing from this software, especially since it exists on the desktop interface. I am forced to use the mobile web interface, which is awfully claustrophobic to use.

Hello, thank you for your rating. We take your opinion very seriously. We have recently launched a search API on the server to also make a search on the server through the app. This search and many more features come in the new app. A folder search is already possible there. You said you already use the Alpha version of the Testflight program?
Nextcloud app better than ownCloud app
There is no auto upload functionality
Response from developer
What's your expectation here? We have instant upload for photos and videos. You can activate it via the settings. We don't think your rating is justified. ^cs
Login is broken
Keeps saying user/password incorrect

Hello Joe. Please try to delete the app using Settings -> iPhone Storage -> ownCloud -> Delete App. Reinstall it from the AppStore. Maybe you run into a database error during the update. ^cs
This mobile app is crippling OC’s potential
Seriously. I’m looking for a new solution for my cloud storage backend, actively seeking alternatives. I have used OwnCloud and this app for a long time now and the app has barely evolved at all... I need a basic editor, not much but slightly better than the current bare-bones dialog box you can type in now. That’s just pathetic. Calling that an editor is a stretch anyways, because I can’t even see how to take existing files and edit them, only new text files. What a joke. I love OC on my server and desktop machines, but this iOS app is a joke, and it’s sad really because they should realize these days that mobile is more important and deserving of a real app if they want anyone to take OC seriously! This ship is going down unless they hire some real iOS programmers ASAP!

Hello. You will be pleased to hear that we are working on a complete rewrite of the app. Your feedback will be respected in our effort. You can already try out the beta: testflight.apple.com/join/Oktj0iKv (open link on iOS device) Please do not use this with critical data, it's not tested yet. ^el
Method not allowed
As of yet I have been unable to access owncloud through this app. I receive a PROPFIND method not allowed. Have not found any workarounds yet

Hello Ajsbehaj, have you tried to delete and reinstall the app. We never seen this error before. Please try and come back to us. We want to help you here. ^cs
Wau! Super fast compared to Nextcloud
Syncing via NextCloud app is very glitchy and slow. I installed OwnCloud and it is way more fast. I wished OwnCloud server was a bit better supported, I would switch from NextCloud. As NextCloud server is kind of slow too. But it has all I need now with all its plugins and community support.
Not fully baked
1. I can’t upload anything, but can browse just fine. The UI is horrible. You have to switch over to the “Uploads” tab to see file(s) uploading. It just says “Waiting for server connection.” I’ve yet to see anything uploaded, however I can use my WebDAV client and it uploads content just fine.
2. I like that the app supports the iOS Share Sheet, however it isn’t fully baked either. After you use iOS’ share sheet, it tells you that you have to go open the app to actually upload it. I get that, because I know you have to select a folder. But then it does the same thing as #1 and just sits there. It never uploads.
Hopefully this recommended app for ownCloud can be improved. As it stands, I have to upload via another means (such as an iOS WebDAV client) and then return to this app to get a public share link. It’s a half baked and frustrating multi-step process. Until it’s head is on straight, they shouldn’t be charging any money for it. I feel a bit robbed...

"I like that the app supports the iOS Share Sheet, however it isn’t fully baked either." - We put it in the oven again. Now it is completely baked. Try it out. ^cs
I mean it's cool but really buggy
App crashes for no reason multiple times within 5 min, no clear UI for what is happening to the user - guys please update your app and get a good PO in there that can map out a good user experience together with a design team: you could be the sole answer for people wanting their own cloud. It's just too techy to use for the main market, as in, my girlfriend or mom would never want to use this over google drive for example. Please update!!

Same problem sync photos and 2 factor problems
Purchased this app to sync photos from my iPhone to my ownCloud but they just don't sync. Also enabled the Duo two-factor application and now the app can't even log in to the server. Edit: Added a 4th star, the developer cleared up that it would require using an application password with two-factor and it worked perfect. I'll continue to mess with the photo sync, but nothing so far. I'd dev is interested in any testing, let me know. -Jeff

Excellent app, works with no problems.
ownCloud is great and it works very well. It works as you would expect it to and I haven't run into a hitch yet. It even has the added benefit of being an active photo cloud storage. If you enable InstantPhotos in the app, whenever you take a photo on your device it will automatically upload it to your ownCloud server! That was an unexpected and very much appreciated feature.

Correcting my previous review..
I am giving this app 5 stars as it works perfectly. The issues I had connecting were due to an improperly configured install. I correct the config issues and all is working properly now. 👍.
A very crappy app for a nice service
I came across with this owncloud service using my Qnap, I thing is neat, I even stopped using OneDrive and Google Photos BUT, this app is a total piece of junk. Is unstable, huge lack of features (are you kidding me, there is not even "Select All" function!!!) at the point that I'm considering go back to OneDrive. I'm not a business, I was just looking for cloud solution that allows all of our Smartphones make pictures backup/sync to my home NAS but in the background without any user interaction, well, the app does that, but only does that. I'm not even going to mention how slow it performs, my whole network is running gigabit and the wireless radio at the maximum and this thing synchronizes probably 1 picture every 30 seconds, is ridiculous, and I setup the service using MySQL, not the crappy SQL lite they have from default. Bottom line, I will love to see a real app for this service, I will pay even more than a buck if really works and do the job right.

So close
Was going to use this as my main cloud solution but the app has one fatal flaw. You must enable location services in order for auto upload to work. Other apps (Google photos, one drive, etc) allow this feature without using location services (just you have to open the app since obviously without the service the app doesn't know when you have moved). The lack of this is odd, because now I have to manually upload which is a bummer. If this feature was added I would definitely use this and change my review to a much more positive one.

Encouraging App
Set up OwnCloud locally for my family and am liking it so far. The feature set is pretty basic and documentation is quite basic but once things are up and running everything works smoothly.
If they continue to refine the app and server end it will continue to move into my family iCloud replacement territory.
I would ask for improvement consideration around the family sharing experience and photo library management.

Works, but missing key features
I've been looking for a solid personal cloud server I could run on my home server, and so far I've tried Tonido and ownCloud. ownCloud's app is missing some key features, namely disabling automatic photo uploads on cellular data, and having the option to browse your photos with a larger thumbnail. The existing thumbnail is so tiny I can't see what the picture is.

App is Perfect
Once you download something from the app. It stays on your phone memory and then you have the option to delete it from the phone or from both the phone and server. The app is fast and very responsive when navigating.
